A miller Posted February 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2016 a headless "worrier" with his worry beads...very cool. Love the photo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted February 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2016 I like it very much, too. The word "trudging" came to mind, and I thought of it as applying to both body and mind. I wished the cars weren't there, but that's that way it goes on the street. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted February 22, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2016 Nice shot.... goes to show you that not all street shots need to be from upfront...this is a good example where the rosary, the stooped man etc....the tight sidewalk, all come into play to make this a timely shot, jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XVarior Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted February 23, 2016 a headless "worrier" with his worry beads...very cool. Love the photo Thanks Adam, glad it worked for you, actually I immediately thought of you when I took it:-) On another forum, someone described it as "Burdened by life, strengthened by faith" and that was exactly the case with the very old lady, barely able t walk toward a nearby church.

Louis Posted February 24, 2016 Share #12 Posted February 24, 2016 A perfect street photography with a story; nice composition; and, very tasteful! Also, I must add that your title is perfect and not a description of the image, but it opens the door for the story like the title of a book!... I believe this is how a title should be! I don't agree very much with those who give the title of "A Dog" when they are posting the shot of a dog; or for example, "A Woman Walking in the Street" when they are, indeed, posting a woman in the street! ... IMHO, this is not how titling a "Street Shot" should be! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted February 25, 2016 Share #14 Posted February 25, 2016 Rodrigue, a mastershot and quite a weird "Hoffmannesque" is being implied here. Great stuff for a Story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted February 25, 2016 Share #15 Posted February 25, 2016 I actually don't agree with much of the "web-based" etiquette when it comes to titles of photos. To me, the photo should be open to the interperative imagination of the viewer and the viewer should not be lead into a certain interpretation. To me, the stronger the photo, the less the title annoys me. But if the title is stronger than the photo, well... In the case of this photo, I didn't even read the title, to be honest. I just saw Rodrigue's name and clicked and viewed. And loved the photo (though ideally it would have been shot with B&W film, with all of its natural grain and character... ) Now that I read the title, I actually don't understand it all that well. But I'm sure that is a problem with my intelligence level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It get tough sometimes because when I get it in arabic it may not translates well to english or french and vice versa. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure that is a problem with my intelligence level Let me tell you dear Adam that me too, I open the image by simply looking at the name of the photographer and you're one of those photographers that I clicked on their images in an almost instinctive way. But hey, I don't only enjoy your images and learn from them, I do enjoy your titles too. In my title I tried to convey the sense of humour regarding the saying that with faith you can walk on water, but here in the case of this image, the subject was able to walk without head. I should have called it "Burdened by life, strengthened by faith" what do you think? ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton C Posted February 26, 2016 Share #20 Posted February 26, 2016 Hey Rodrigue, I think that would have been a good title, but it's no less thought provoking to have seen it in the discussion. It's a great thought that fits this photo story so well. It finds and emphasizes a positive aspect where one might, initially respond to the sadder aspect. Yet in emphasizing the positive, that characterization doesn't distort with false optimism. A side note that may be of interest, there is a body of social science literature substantiating the "...strengthened by faith" proposition. Strong correlations with well-being and various mental health outcomes. (Havent researched physical health ones, sorry). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
