Alone Time
Posted on June 21, 2010 in Black and White, People
I don’t know this man, nor did I have an opportunity to talk with him. He was sitting by the lake watching the kayaks and fishermen. I sensed that he was alone but he seemed to be enjoying the evening by the water. Still I felt sad that he was by himself … especially on Father’s Day. Later in the evening I visited a different lake and on the beach I saw a woman sitting in a lawn chair reading a book. She was alone, too. I should have played matchmaker and introduced them to one another! 🙂
Wow. What a capture. Look at that posture, speaking to us, sort of a “burden of time” feel. Great processing. I wish the canoe wasn’t in the shot, but what can you do? Great vision to see the shot, wonderful capture.
Thanks Bob. I was originally wishing that the canoe wasn’t there, too, but it gives the image a sense of place for me. Seeing the man’s cane makes me wonder if he can still go out on the lake in a boat or if he’s no longer able and is wishing that he could.
