I spy... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

"I do these things just so I survive.
And you know I will survive.
It may look to the untrained eye
I'm sitting on my arse all day
And I'm biding my time until I take you all on my Lords and Ladies
I will prevail, I cannot fail.
Cause I spy.

And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh.
Cause I spy.

It's just like in the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my head.
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop.

And every night I hatch my plan, it's not a case of woman v man.
It's more a case of haves against haven'ts and I just
happen to have got what you need,
just exactly what you need yeah."

nice espionage, joritt, please do spy ever more;
simple diagonal composition resulting in an excellent image; well spied :-))

Isabelle (9014) 2005-03-10 12:09

you spy, i steal :)
excellent minimalist composition, Jorrit!
LOVE the fact the white line on the ground is not perfectly diagonal in the frame.

Very apt lyric for this one, though the turd seems to be lost in the grain. Excellent snoop you achieved here, though I think part of the impact of this one is its simplicity, which I think would have beed enhanced by cropping the bright object top right.

A fine B&W image,Jorrit!Simple and brilliant compo very well balanced,-coming along with a great note!

AnimeshRay (8886) 2005-03-10 12:53

Excellent capture, with great tone. Wonderfully minimalist point of view. A fitting context for the poem.

I love such photos: simple but smart in idea. Nicely made in raw way.

Galeota (10334) 2005-03-10 15:26

Even though I cannot see you, I can still feel your breath on my neck like a small breeze spying on every single gesture of mine. Great POV. I guess you were the cloud going after him and passing unnoticed because disguised as if she was the sky.

ale (1819) 2005-03-10 16:46

This is great prins!
you have very quick reflexes! the compo is perfect as always and the song too...Bravo!!

Kussen!

Great shot, Jorrit. Very nice and simple composition and your choice for B&W is outstanding. Nothing more to say really, I just like it a lot!

nice jorrit! hmm...this isn't the first 'spying' picture from you...

i like the angle and the grain, they really make the photo!

there is another song by the band Guster that is called "I spy"...check it out...

Maestro,
as usual an intriguing imagine of an unknown person who for a moment crosses our life giving the joy of a good photo. A pity she will never know about this picture (the possibility she is a TE member is not high, I guess). Tomorrow you will see how I catched three pigeons with only one "fava" following your example and tips.

Ask Ale the meaning of fava and of the expression "to catch two (three etc) pigeons with one "fava"
