Untitled

Sometimes, I find it very difficult to title a photo. It usually happens when I come across one that, in my eye, exhibits a lot of emotion. I want to be sure that the title is worthy of the image itself. In the end I often times will sit on it for a while as my brain is unable to give it worthy accolades.

That’s the way I feel about this one. Not that it is anything that spectacular, but it spoke to me. I have stared at it, off and on for nearly twenty four hours now and I can not come up with a title that captures the feel of what I see. The emotion on the mans face. The resonating environment that accompanies his journey.

Now for all I know, this split second in time has nothing to do with reality…. and I’ll never know. For me however, this photo is worthy of speaking for itself. To tell it’s story in it’s detail and emotion to each that see it. Each may see something different, something from their own perspective. For that reason, the title of this image is left to individuals eyes it falls upon. It will remain untitled.

He looks to be keeping out the rain, but not the cold. Much in this image to like: the DoF, the monochrome, the subject, the backghround, the glossy pavement.

I admire a post where the text complements the image.

Great piece of photography, even without a title. Very good black and white photo. I’m learning photography and hope that in a few years I can shoot like this.
