Veronelle from Lens, France
je ne comprends pas ta photo, est-ce le gars a la capuche qui est visé pour dire qu'il fait froid, ou l'escalier ? sans cela la composition et le noir et blanc, j'aime !:-))
18 Sep 2008 10:14am
@Veronelle: Bonjour Veronelle, je trouvais que son manteau et l'escalier allaient bien ensemble lol :)
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
C'est le 3ème matin où je regarde si tu tiens le coup et voilà qu'en fin de matinée je découvre ton com et ta photo... je le savais... J'étais sure que tu ne pouvais pas nous quitter comme cela!! Que tu ne pouvais pas faire comme le gars sur cette photo et partir en tournant le dos, simplement... Je suis heureuse que tu ai changé d'avis Lorraine... alors à demain :-))
18 Sep 2008 10:26am
@Evelyne Dubos: LOL tu es si perspicace ;) j'adore ton message merci beaucoup Evelyne!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Lorraine! How wonderful to find your comment over at my site today; and more blessing: to find your new photo posted here. My take on it: The solitary soul walks the street with quiet feet... (I'm an introvert, too).
But with you back, it's a day for celebration all around!
18 Sep 2008 10:53am
@Viewfinder: You are so nice Vf, thanks very much, and yes indeed quiet feet help get good photos ;) lol
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Woot, woot... she has returned... love the shot and glad to see you stalking people again... hehehe
18 Sep 2008 11:40am
@Fliss: lol well at least it's a 'back stalking' there's hope for me yet, thanks so much Fliss ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Yay, I am so happy ..... you have made my day...well, my night because it's only 4:30 in the morning here. What a pleasant wonderful surprise to have your comment on my page. I really missed you and was so sad when I read your last posting. Love the black and white photo of the person. Can't tell if male or female but my guess would be male. He has a very determined walk and I imagine he is warm enough with that big plaid shirt over his hoodie. I like VF's take on it. xoxoxoxox
18 Sep 2008 11:44am
@Marion: Is it any wonder, I had to come back, such gracious visitors I have, like you dear Lady, thanks very much. If I remember correctly from the walk, he's a man, I loved his checkered jacket ;)
Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
Ha! Love it that you are back, you don't have to post here every day Lorraine, just don't leave for good!!!!. We know you are busy and we appreciate your time, great to see you here, I love your b&w image, I hope you get back in sync soon! Thanks for making me smile!! Mwwwaahhhh!

Barbara from Florida, United States
Everyone INCLUDING ME are very happy to know you are here. Not just today but obviously everyone admires your kind spirit Lorraine.
I like what VF posted, it is a day to celebration.
All of us missed you. But as it has been said you don't have to post every day, just don't leave for good.

Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada
Le dos de la personne et le n/b expriment la solitude, mais l'escalier exprime l'espoir. Belle composition!

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
AM3 just wasn't the same without you, so I'm really glad you decided to stay with it. What a lovely shot; what really caught my eye was the way the chequered jacket interacts with the staircase, this is great B&W territory, nice one.
18 Sep 2008 5:40pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thanks so much Richard, and yes that's exactly what got my attention ;)

terrorkitten from Bath, United Kingdom
It's odd Lorraine how the tiniest detail can get you and it did here. The tiniest slither of light that is passing under the heel before it strikes the floor is magical to me...love it!
18 Sep 2008 7:10pm
@terrorkitten: You are soooo observant, Mr. Terror ;) not much beats your photo of today...Thanks so much!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
The person seems to be disconnected from the world, in my view. Very nicely done.
19 Sep 2008 12:41am
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks a lot Michael, he seemed happy alone, just the way I like it :)
@magiceye: Thanks a lot MagicE, I appreciate it :)

@tyan: Thanks sweetie, that means a lot to me :)
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Une photo, qui ce donne en métaphore, une interprétation. Il est rare que les individus et même les peuples se sentent auteurs de leurs histoire. C'est peut-être une sources providence divine. Le destin, d'être en photo. Précisément ce cas là , un noir et blanc pour l'homme , qui va peut-être découvrir un jour son image, un mot surtout chargé d'amitié.
19 Sep 2008 4:00am
@Siam: Qu'il est beau ton commentaire, une douce musique, merci beaucoup Siam ;)
