The Scylla and Charybdis of
Sarajevo's sleepwalkers are
on everyone's mind, we as-
sume, as the proud, great
powers scramble to exploit
and conceal their weakness
at the same time. This is
how a reef becomes a port
in a seemingly destined
storm. Not by prevarica-
tion, but by posturing.
But, now. Where were we?

ReplyDeleteAnd I am grateful.
the men captured in your tasteful and evocative photographs are seen no place else. They are beautiful
ReplyDeleteYour amiable comment addresses a process of selection and visualisation, conducted here, almost entirely never one of photography, itself. Here, I don't think I've ever spelled out more pointedly the thrust of a selection; but if the remarks on a picture's inspiration might be lost, I'm happy to agree that it deserves its own life. Thank you for visiting rmbl.
