Quote: Populating solitude


He who does not know how to populate his solitude,
will not know how to be alone in the bustling crowd.

Charles Baudelaire 'Les Foules'



Photo details: It was a beautiful late afternoon and I spotted an elderly man with walking sticks looking out across the sand. I wasn't confident enough to stand there and brazenly take his photo. So I held the camera down at arm's length, pressed the button and hoped for the best. Whitby harbour. 14.09.08

  1. My artist uncle has a fiendish trick..when he goes out to photograph subjects for his paintings, he takes my aunt and gets her to pose for a photo just on the very edge of the frame of what he's actually interested in. Everyone thinks he's snapping her and he isn't really!

    Another nice quote

  2. Love that photo - the man's legs and walking sticks say a lot even without seeing the rest of him. I'm enjoying your quotes, too - this one's really thought provoking.

  4. Thanks for the tip Sian!

    Little Dark Eyes - I'm so happy you like the photo. I use an Olympus E300 SLR - not that I've really made any attempt to learn how to use it properly. :)
