Sharing how an image is part of who we are...

Mr. Shapiro a working photographer posted this comment in the "Rules" subject forum.
"Perhaps it is time, here on this site, to stop all the semantics and etymology and start taking and posting more pictures."

I am not a full time working photographer. I have had cameras all my life and have done some pro shots for my work. I do videography
now for money and charities. Imagery has been the most important part of my life. I was an Art Director for years and a producer. I created a recent promo
"The Five Second Rule" a video sampler about story telling. The concept being in five seconds a video or still(s) can tell a story.
I realize I hold back because my photos are pulled off of 10 bit video. And people, family, events and editorial are a problem to post today.

I realized that 50 years ago I took this shot with a Pentax Spotmatic. What I saw coming was a new world of people being different that
would effect art, politics and life. Wanted to share this photo. Think I added the blur. These 2 ladies were getting a lot of looks on the street.

I like this shot a lot! The blur gives a cool look of movement and spontaneity.

Your photo is a real eye grabber. I have difficulty looking elsewhere with your photo before me.

Nice shot. I did not make the rules on this site but the rules do state that anyone can post photos as often as they like on the gallery pages. The Main Photography Discussion page is for that, discussion and photos as needed to enhance the discussion.

I find it interesting that in trying to be "different" both ladies look very similar.

Mr. Shapiro must have forgotten the rule that photos go in the Photo Gallery and not the Discussion Forum.

If the image goes missing, the admin probably moved it.

I really like the image and think the message might be understood/felt by more people today than when it was shot. It certainly has staying power.

The hair grabbed me. Or at least my attention.
