Weekly Photo Challenge: “Near and Far”
It’s been a couple weeks since I participated in one of these challenges. I shot this one today in one of my familiar haunts. Other than a sense of depth perspective – while using a wide angle lens, I was also looking for a situation that conveyed rhythm.
Title and all, this image is a remark on contemporary society. It’s a depiction of something that so many of us are always trying to do. For not being late, for acquiring and sustaining respect, for survival we nearly kill ourselves in an effort to at least keep up.

Nice entry Allen
Thank you, Cardinal. So is yours.
I’m still following your blog but I need to figure out why I’m still not receiving updates whenever you make a new post.

Fits the theme really well, I like it.
I like yours too, thanks.
Unique take on the challenge.
Much appreciated.
Brilliant!
I seldom do close up portraits in my street photography. When I do, it can’t be an ambush and it can’t result in expressions of terror on the faces of those I photograph. I’m not out to freak people out. Most of my shots are from a ways back so that I can observe and record body posture and language in a composition. How we move, sit and stand can speak volumes.
You are an Inspiration. The images you are capturing are stunning. RESPECT!!!!
Michael, very much appreciated.
I’m stunned by the work you do. I still drool over your Grand Island Bridge project.
