'When All is Said and Done...' - Project

I'm hoping I can do my latest little offerings by way of a mini project, some justice. I know what i'm looking for and I just have to find it. Start small, finish big.
As usual, it's another reactionary process with the camera, and would much rather be on the creative side of things...although, that's another story and project.

Paul, my mind goes straight to the extension of that saying..." When all is said and done, there's a lot more said than done!"

I look forward to an evolving series. I'm not sure I've got the essence of the title just yet but as you said, finish big.

Wow, these are gorgeous, Paul! Maggie

Hey Andy, I don't want to give anything away really. I will let the pictures do the talking...there, i've said enough, already.
Nice of you to pick up on the last part of that quote...

Maggie, thanks for looking and c.ommenting.

An effective addition. Interestingly, this reminds me of some of the objects isolated in an urban or country background by Jerome Marot.

This series is fascinating for it's focus on single smaller distinct elements in a large background, like one fly on the wall!

Hey Asher, I kind of like to think that this one may be better suited surrounded by more of the same themed imagery for this project. You know, when the project is a bit fatter. It's still a nascent thing...
Obviously, an image like this works better as part of a themed series of photographs gaining power and influence, and I feel it has a little of it's own in fulfilling this project.
On face value, I took it because of the common associations that are ascribed to someone wearing a hard hat like this and it's oddly left in a rural setting that isn't of much relevance to it I thought. Anyway...

I have to be careful talking about it in any depth, because of the emotional attachment I still have through taking it. So, you saying you think it's a worthy addition pleases me...Thanks.

Can you post a link to Jerome's images please?

Developer, stop and fixer...?

Hi

great idea and well done ...
I'm going to keep my eyes open during the next days and weeks ... )

It sounds like I may have inspired you, Wolfgang?

Btw, Wolfgang. This image was taken close by to where I live, but I had no idea these things were there. It was only through myself taking a footpath, of the beaten track and between a farmer's fields (one, that I have never walked down in my life), that I found these.
My point is, is that there is always something interesting close by, no matter where we are and no matter how jaded we become with our familiar surroundings. Sometimes our surroundings are not so familiar.

This is why I never leave home without my camera...

Paul,

I am open to your journey, realizing yo might zigzag and pause at places on the way.

Paul,

Certainly! One of his remarkable threads is here
.

I think there may be more. His work is quite bored, ranging from links to the works of others or comments on issues of social import. These pictures of his, framing items that others would simply pass by, has been valuable to me and I return to it from time to time.

It is wonderful to be stimulated by work of people who have a window to the word different than mine. together, we hold up lanterns and collectively, hopefully we get to see much more than we would being our sole documentarians.

I do agree with your words, every single one of them )))
