Don't Walk

You know, I love when a photo makes a strong, cogent statement. Photos that tell a story can take the everyday events of the world and give them a real poetry. Better still, it elevates photography as a medium; instead of mutely pointing and saying "lookie!", we begin to tell meaningful stories as artists.

That's why I hate this photo. Do you know what this photo says, friend? No, you don't, and NEITHER DO I. "DONT WALK, autumnal light over Platanus leaves ahead", possibly? You sir are the modern Henri Cartier Bresson. Congratulations on this newborn hybrid of gritty urban commentary and misty-eyed pastoralism. I suggest you take it out to the nearest hillside and do what you feel necessary.

This photo sucks.
