Roger's "Empty" Vol. I

[spdrcr71]

Still using a site that doesn't allow me to post photos here, so bare with me.

Here's my contribution:

Feel free to post the photo for me in this thread. :tup:

Shot w/ a Canon Elan IIe/ Tamron glass, back in the day of 35mm film.

Scala b&w slide film. It's an old slide scan, so quality isn't the greatest. But you guys get the jist.

Girl is just a stranger on the bus.

really good picture!

[mitssn]

How does it portray "Empty" though?

[CALL AAA]

It's a girl alone on a bus, looking like she's missing something, or someone. Maybe she was just dumped by a guy with an RS6. Maybe her dog died. Maybe she just rode the bus all the way to Wendy's on Poway Road and found out that it burned down. That's a pretty fuckin empty feeling.

[spdrcr71]

The way I saw it, she looked pretty lonely sitting in that bus by herself.

Webster defines "empty" as "marked by the absence of human life, activity, or comfort"

It's really a personal interpretation. The topic said, "be creative". Thanks AAA

I thought this one was too obvious. I cropped it out of a dash photo of my GTI.

I liked em both.

The less you explain the more the picture says.

Like children, Art doesn't come with instructions.

It just is.

It just is. Is that yours??? :tup: :tup:

[Alan_One]

Is that yours??? :tup: :tup:

Yeah, as far as i know it's mine. But I don't subscribe to original thought either.

so I'll take the :tup: 's

:)

Ha Ha! I like the second one. I have been keeping my eyes open for "emptiness," but that one didn't even dawn on me as I pulled into Chevron, this morning. That's pretty good.

hahahaha..... nice interpretation. Never thought of it that way.

What's more empty than a person sitting alone on mass transit?

I like it because even if I didn't know that the topic was "Empty", I would still get there eventually.

How would you portray "empty"?

That's the 2nd idea that came to mind for me :p

Love the bus photo though :tup:

Where the hell did you take it though? No recycling!

Define "recycling"

I was standing outside St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

I was originally trying to capture the cathedral, then this bus drove by.

It was one of those perfect moments when you're lucky enough to have a camera in hand.

Thanks for the compliments.

:tup:

still no other threads on "empty" :confused:

I think recycling means it's a picture you took before the topic was announced. I'm working on "Empty", give me a break.

Gotcha. Fair enough.

I just thought they went well with the topic.
