the challenge, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective. What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it. The second challenge has been to impose order onto the things seen and to supply the visual context and the intellectual framework - that to me is the art of photography. - Berenice Abbott

Hello Georgios,
I see no one yet as had the courage to critique this, shall I be the brave first? First, I like it. The checkered jacket -does it denote a presence or an absence? Despite the jacket's loudness, the room feels quiet to me. Like it is a room in waiting, but for what. I can look and look at this yet I don't understand why this should be? Perhaps I am waiting for a story to emerge. Yes, that is it. Pictures that hint at stories are the best because they leave the rest to the viewer's imagination.
