stairs, shadows, paper in green plastic
Metaphorophotographically speaking, this shot speaks to the diminishing relevance of the newspaper these days. Not only is it overshadowed, it's all wrapped up in green plastic. Plastic for ecologically unsound, toxic-- green plastic for hypocrisy. Reality is faded and peeling. The shadow, a virtual projection from another dimension (to stretch the metaphor wildly, if you don't mind) dominates. Notice that we have quite a few triangles, as well as a double triangle in the shadows at the top of the stairs, and you know what that means. (Actually, I'm hoping you do because I don't)
Photo note: Shadows have been absolutely spectacular in the past few days. Perhaps it's the late winter light. Perhaps its just another unfathomable message from the universe. Ya never know.
