Not Much Going On
within this frame
just a lot of grey area
with some bright spots
punctuated by dark shadows
no parking here to corner
with a directional arrow
and a thin white line
beyond this frame
what cannot be seen
like what lies in shadow
out there past the periphery
replaced by the context
within which you see
this static image
a single view
from one vantage
on a particular day
captured in an instant
made to look a certain way
established, like something real
would be tangible, if it were printed
but enduring, at least for some time now
where does all of that leave this street corner
does this image represent that place now, or that time?
what does it mean to take the place of something
if that something is a place or perhaps a time?
what is the effect of recording information
why do we “take” or “capture” pictures…
what happens when we let them go?
