Symbolism

So - it never ceases to amaze me that life has a way of making itself known in a tangle of ways which ultimately makes it more complex than what it needs to be.

I've noticed that each time we have been poised to move from one place to anther, something dramatic looms in the distance, waiting to strike and spitting piss and vinegar.  This time it's no different.

I would like to be able to rant and rave and carry on about the woes, trials and tribulations that accompany this move, but I will not.  I dare not.  The reason is because I feel that the more that it's dwelt upon, the more life it's given.  What I will do is move forward and allow the past to recede into the background.  As it does, it will not only become smaller in my rearview, it will also become less din.

So onward - this past week's assignment for Photo Design was to come up with an image that would tell a story in and of itself through the imagery alone.  We had a very broad range of topics from which to choose.  Hopefully my topic is readily apparent.

People have prescribed many different people to the wearer of the black shoe in this image.  Undoubtedly you will too.  What remains constant is the feeling that the image conveys the sentiment and acknowledgement of a lot of folks who feel that it rings true.
