For those of us who have stepped on a nail there is no question what had happened, OUCH. As part of my Environmental Management Job, was "Health and Safety". Rrockdog's punch photo would be a great poster, "Workplace Hazards -- Ready to Nail You."
The construction of this photo is excellent, monotone is the best choice color would be a distraction. Well done rockdog

Thank you, Don. It was a "watch your step" day.

I think in this section we're "trending" (hate, hate, hate the mis-use of that term, especially in sports 
) towards a wider definition of artistry in photography. I am hoping we'll keep pushing the boundaries. Please post as often as you'd like, Phil!

I share your feelings about the use and mis-use of the term and concept of trending. I feel the same about the term "influencer". They both make me think of sheep.

Thank you, John. Your comment made me think of the fellow jumping right out of that shoe and hightailing it right out of the picture.

Evocative. I like it.

I appreciate your comment, Mike, thank you. Yes, and sometimes a shoe. Better here than hanging from a power line....

Hi Phil I have just found your last few ( excellent ) posts. I must subscribe to this section. This latest one is a cracker and brings back some painful memories Also very informative as I had never heard of the term before and I realise that it would just about sum up my life.
All the best Alan

So good to hear from you Al, thank you. Working with these recently scanned but very old negatives has been a lot of fun. You literally made me laugh out loud with your wabi-sabi comment. It is true, it sums many of us up.
Best to you and family in '24 my friend!
