“Is there a fear more profound than of death? My deepest fear is that I am unworthy of love.” Powerful words. Powerful imagery.
1937: Grand Central Station (NYC Dept. of Records, Municipal Archives) It has been one of my photographic goals to capture light rays, as they flowed in thru my kitchen windows or down thru a forest canopy. This photo, besides taking my breath away with its statement of architectural majesty, exposing the invisible pillars of the titans that hold our world up like struts does a trestle, was instructional; the over-exposed windows, the motion blur of the commuters, both indicate that I need to go with much longer exposures. In-door smoking in those days probably helped as well.

How the light shows rain, how the rain shows the light, how both the road horizontally and the buildings, vertically, accentuate the depth, and the foreground pedestrian walking toward the camera, and ….I could go on, but, basically, this photo grabbed me and pulled me in.

“The French philosopher’s teachings as interpreted by the science fiction overlord Darth Vader. Perhaps more than any other 20th century supervillain, the disgraced Jedi knight tragically and perfectly embodies the Sartrian notion that “Freedom is what you do with what has been done to you.” For those who might consider the Joker a better candidate, we humbly submit that with the Joker, it’s more of a Nietzschean thing.” (That right Joker. You as Nietzschean, because it was Kierkegaard that had the last laugh! )
