The Factory
we recycle cardboard
newsprint & dreams
here on the threshhold
of oblivion
fog drifts across the highway
the dark river mutters
dark heron laughs symbolically
we are the faces of canada
in disrepair
we are the missing pieces
of the puzzle
floracarbons in our lungs
a sour wind telling tales we disregard
dark heron conversing with the dour river
we are the remnants of hope
all in a tangle
not even bohemian
in our struggles
frost on the wind
steam swirling from rusting metalic vents
dark heron disappears in to icey fog
by Kenn Mitchell
tout simplement: j’adore
Nice old boots, love the textures and tones.
The composition is very nice, it seems to have a nice story behind them.
outstanding! with the title and the roughness of the boots in b/w this is just plain cool! The picture illustrates the poem nicely 🙂
This sure looks appropriate in monochrome.
Nice shot. 🙂
wonderful detail, textures, and idea
Such a simple subject, such an amazing image, wonderful tone and light, congratulations on this great piece of work!
I love these dark tones, the detail of the laces and the light! Excellent shot!
I love this aged look of the boots. Neat capture and wonderful processing. My new favorite on your site. You’ll find it keeps changing:-)
There is such a mood here, Elaine, that speaks more than a thousand words. It reminds me of a photo I put on SC last year, for some reason (maybe because of the “recycling” thought):http://www.ginniehart.shutterchance.com/photoblog/The_Good_Samaritan_/Your accompanying poem is exquisite. You have a gift on many different levels! Thanks for using and sharing it.
This is a great shot – I really like it. I hate loafer type shoes (tassled or un-tassled) but these to the left of the boot even look appealing in this photo – Nice job.
Lovely capture
Tough looking old boots!! Interesting lighting 🙂
Nice image Elaine. Like the processing, great details and especially like the dark contrasts.
hi elaine,wow.Did u write that poem yourself?At first glance,the pair of boots looked like broken down lungs.Very apt pic and words.:)
Really cool shot. Simple subject but so well photographed and processed.
Great picture, really works in B/W. I think the us of flash to set the focus on the boots, gives it a little extra too. Looks like you got some big feet 😉
Smart shot, those boots have done some mileage. The poem is excellent too. That’s two compliments in one strike.
great textures & processing.. i’m having fun reading your poems.. 🙂
I like the textures and the tonal range
Love the dramatic color and subject.Just added you on vfxy 😉
cool mater of fact story
i love the deep rich character and texture that the boots and shoes.. shoe.. always such details subjects…
I like the light on this one
