Thanks Jonathan. I was happy to come across the cups, which were rolling around in slow circles from the wind. I like pictures where you can see that something recently happened, but you don't quite know what it is. I mean, obviously, a group of people came to the top of this garage to do some drinking, but who? And what did they talk about? That could make an interesting collaborative project actually-combining fiction with photographs. You were an English major, no? What'ya say? Here is the "evidence": https://www.flickr.com/photos/austin...7648955968536/
I like the symmetry with the light poles, which I assume the intent.
I've always liked the idea of "implied narrative" in photographs, and your series is a great example of this. Photographs that beg questions are intriguing, I agree, and they almost always involve a human element. I rarely see a photo of a stream flowing past some trees that brings questions to mind. But if there were a pair of shoes on a rock in the foreground, that's a different story. Isn't this why crime dramas are so perennially popular? All you need is one dead body and the questions start crawling out of the woodwork.
And yes, I was an English major, the operative word being "was." I gave up on writing years ago to focus on images. What I would have given to have been able to turn in two photographs in lieu of every 2,000 word essay I had to write in college!

P.S. Chris Van Allsburg's Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a wonderful example of a book of singular images begging for stories to be told about them.
