Wonderful depth of field, color and composition. Evokes an intense emotional response, too - a sepia-toned melancholy and nostalgia.

o, but grace, towards me, has not been vain, by tetheredto
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords
Than twenty of their swords

night windmill, by narva3
I've always wanted to own a windmill. Maybe someday I'll buy a piece of land that already has one on it.
"Hours clot. Birds flap like passports. Fields explode with temper
Go look at all of tetheredto's photos; I promise you'll become a better artist in doing so.

Waiting for the Sun, by Telzey
For children, the clock may as well be broken. Time for them is enormous, infinite. Summers last a lifetime. But then somewhere along the line, the clock is fixed, and the children are no longer children. They discover mortality and each and every tick goes by faster and faster. Every grain of sand drops with a thud, and they are horrified by the mindless certainty of it all. It's not fair, they think. Noone warned us. Is there nothing we can do?

Revolution, by Tous les noms...
In today's Lenswork podcast, Brooks Jensen bemoans the fact that there appear to be few or no websites devoted to discussing the meaning of photographs. Tons of sites about techniques and equipment, but none playing the role of "internet docent," a tour guide to help place photographs in context. He argues that without context, our understanding of any particular photograph may be superficial. Personally, I don't believe this is always the case; some photos literally speak for themselves. But what about ones like this? How much context is necessary for a full appreciation? Do we need more than just the title? There seems to be some danger of limiting a work because it may be that too much context might become interpretation. This is a slippery slope. In the end, Jensen says that perhaps we as artists have to be our own docents, that it's up to us to place our work in a context that makes it easier to understand and appreciate.
