The Triangle Photo

Photographer’s Note

"When I start out to make a fool of myself, there's very little can stop me. If I'd known where it would end, I'd never let anything start, if I'd been in my right mind, that is. But once I'd seen her, once I'd seen her, I was not in my right mind for quite some time...me, with plenty of time and nothing to do but get myself in trouble. Some people can smell danger, not me."
...Michael O'Hara in "The Lady From Shanghai" (Orson Welles)(1948)

Really a decisive moment. Caught the scene at a perfect moment of stasis. The three figures perfectly balanced in a moment that was never there. As they say - one can never be in a particular place nor go back anywhere because neither the place nor the person was ever anywhere. Who said this I don't know - maybe no one did - but the saying has been in the air ever since I remember. Your image - by freezing them at a moment of hilarity, risk, relaxation, and perhaps expectation - illustrates the saying.
Excuse the ramblings of a brain always unstable now feverish in addition.
Great photograph, worthy to be preserved for posterity.
No one has commented on this one ... Are we two really sane enough?
