A few nights ago my nocturnal photography chum and I took a rare drive to the coast, hoping to find ample subject matter on the boardwalk with its associated amusements. To our surprise, the entire town was seemingly abandoned, eerie for a Friday night (and featuring unseasonably warm weather at that). Thus we were compelled to mine the local scenery for less obvious study material.
I happened to bring along a few props - virtually unprecedented accessories for me. After some exploring we discovered a raised pedestrian walkway, which presented intriguing lighting and considerable potential for geometrically formal compositions.
Thus, this offering. It seems that the greatest challenge in life is to successfully form a genuine partnership with another human being, especially in the realm of romance. Initially the goal is to present our Best Selves; if a connection is made and sustained eventually the masked personas are displaced by something more closely reflecting our true nature. For some, such revelations are occasioned by sporadic moments of enlightenment piercing dark inner corridors; in the beginning only superficial characteristics are apparent. As the journey unfolds, more will be revealed.
