I think it worth the effort to try to find emotion in the photo. While I do not write poetry, I also think that "striving" to create is a worthwhile cause. I once saw a man in China who wrote calligraphy in water on the sidewalk. No sooner would he be done and have to start over. The effort was to "perfect" his work and possibly to have a zen moment of mindlessness.

In this case, while I think the photo needs some work, I think striving for the art succeeded. It is interesting to think of the people who used the wagon and now who are gone. Which is one reason my wife likes old homes...to think of the families raised there, the events, the kids.

We are all trying to get thought this life with as much happiness as possible. If looking at this wagon provides that then I am all for it. I also think some of us have a drive to create, which is what you did. And someday, you too will be gone and perhaps some heir will pick this up and read it. Who knows?

The technical part...better upload or something...sure. That can be fixed.

Your post brought to mind a photography exhibit I saw in OKC a couple of years ago.
Although it was sports photography, they were arranged by emotion, rather than sport, athlete, or such.

Rather than explain, here's a link. https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-736677-1.html
The show had been on my mind, as I understand it is touring now.

You may find it interesting, I did anyway.

I do both, depending on what I am looking for. Generally, I try to keep it subtle--or more precisely, make it look "real." But, there are occasions when I want to make something more "arty," then I go where my instinct leads.

If you are an art lover, the Hyde Collection Museum in Glens Falls is a must. It has an exceptional array of Old Masters (Rembrandt, Botticelli, etc.), as well as beautiful antique furniture and decor, all displayed in what was the home of the collector, Charlotte Pruyn Hyde. She had brilliant advisors and exceptional foresight in her purchases. The museum is truly a hidden gem. And it's still located right next to the paper mill that created the fortune behind the collection.

In the Adirondacks there was a museum at Blue Mountain Lake. If it is still there it is probably worth going to.


It's still there, and provides a a great deal of interesting Adirondack stuff.
