Seeing 2009 (#87)

Tonight's submission: a scene I couldn't resist . . . a street fair shuttered for the evening, largely unremarkable were it not for a shirt peculiarly modeled in midair.

In obsessive fashion I spent an hour creating twenty-two varied images of the floating chemise and its surroundings. (I might have shot more, but I grew weary of the endless supply of intoxicated pedestrians who in apparent oblivion wandered through the scene; the obnoxious factor predictably rose in proportion with the passage of time.) In the days to come I will post several more from the resulting collection.

Here, perhaps another reflection on impermanence and Dukkah: two torsos, missing their heads. One seems more at peace with the notion than the other.
