I'm not interested in ethnography and such. It's not the fact that interests me but its opposite: the story, the myth, the poetry of it. To catch little red riding hood walk by a yellow ladder, to catch gods, beasts and demons in the bushes.<br /> <br /> Not so much the decisive as the poetic moment is for me. A photo of something more than what's visible: something symbolic, with reach and depth. Something that reverberates, amplifies, articulates... a mystery.<br /> <br /> Now I see where I've wasted my time and where I've gone right. Thank you. Thanks for starting this. There's only one down side. I wish I'd thought of it first!!!</p> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 21:11:23 -0700 nobody@flickr.com (Dan Goorevitch) tag:flickr.com,2004:/grouptopic/72157633193465208
