Unexpected

    By Jack Grant

When I took this photo below (click on the thumbnail for a larger, more detailed image) it was my intention to show how sensual the advertisements in in France are.

The reflection of me taking the photo of an ad behind glass on the side of a bus stop seems to have an unintentional artistic effect if you look at the full sized image.

Is it art? I hesitate to say yes, but I do know that often what we call "art" is the product of serendipity.

Very cool, Jack.

Nice to see you!

That is serendipitous.

Jack,

Not only is the advertisement a work of art - gorgeous photography, but when you blow it up, like you said, the reflections are wonderful......see lots of other imagery there... and YOU too!

That it was an accident does not lessen the artistic effect. You could not have done better had you planned it...

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
