THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC POST
Carmi has declared our theme to be: Silhouette
Lost in a toy land where anything is possible.
Where does the meaning of a silhouette take me?
I would choose simplicity over most anything
Have you ever wondered if your life is carried away by too much detail?
Would you rather see your days in a silhouette?
I can do without many things
I prefer to choose the lesser of silhouettes
a single thing here or there
and more of what is waiting to be noticed.
Even that rare fleeting moment of
a smile
a hopeful glance
a wink just for me
or the wrinkle of a nose from laughter.
Yes for me there should be reason for any photograph.
Oh how I know sometimes,
the real importance comes to us once we review our shot.

Simple is good, but not simpler. I see the silhouette as something grasping toward the bigger, more simpler moment, of something so special, the more I can consume of it the better.
We started this round of silhouettes a bit late this week, and I'm even later posting. But why not join in with the rest of us at Carmi's "Thematic Photographic" on his blog at "Written Inc." It's waiting somewhere around the corner just for you!
