I was sick at home this week. So I just shot some tv programs. I would shoot, when interesting shapes came on. Interesting, as it makes you see, in a different way. Which is always good for the mind. My camera was on a tripod. I focused roughly one foot, in front of the screen. This helped soften the image, also eliminating the lines on the screen. Yeah, I have an old school tv.
Shooting slow, also helped add some blur. The program was about the Iraq war.
The actual shot, was of people loading into a Hercules transport plane.

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
Makes me wonder about myself. What is that about me that makes me sit and wonder at such images? Why do I feel like I am watching someone's escape? Images can be powerful. This one surely is.
lovely image! Blur really works here (unlike many other photos in this challenge where it was just thrown in for good measure, and to "answer the challenge" :))
