My entry for the current Street Photography Mailing List Salon (click photo for a larger view, and to get to my other Salon entries these last few months). This Salon’s theme is the rather long-winded but cunning “The presence of your absence is strongly felt.” What exactly does that mean? Well, of course you need only look at my photo and the answer will be clear! But seriously, one never really knows what each Salon’s adjudicator has in mind when he/she comes up with these things, which I suppose adds to the fun and helps to keep the entries varied and interesting. Ironically, there seems to be less variation on the theme this Salon than in the past. Perhaps the theme wasn’t so inscrutable after all. The current Salon has yet to be decided but you can see the entries via this page.
