Sepia Saturday Suggestion:
This week's Sepia Saturday suggestion shows a couple of guys standing in a doorway.
LOST GALLERY has LOTS of pictures where a doorway is included in the picture. So, I looked for photographs that had someone standing right in the doorway, blocking the door or looking out the door.
A gate is really just a door in the fence isn't it?
What? You say this is a "Hatch" and not really a door?
Okay, here's two sailors in front of a REAL door.
What door?
I had a great deal of trouble deciding on a favorite this week.
The following two pictures were found miles and months apart and yet they speak the of same tragedy: poverty. The sadness conveyed in these two otherwise unrelated snapshots is as evident as the persistent glow of their human spirit.
Their plight is obvious; their struggle written on their faces. But they manage to wring out a livable life from their hard environment.
These photographs are decades old. We say we have made progress, easing the lives of these unfortunate. But have we?
Could we take a few similar snapshots today?
“Where are you going?”
“Out”
“When will you be back?”
“Later.”
“Can I go?”
“No.”
I have to pick this one as my favorite.
What a character.
What a story.
