Is this Art?
About two months ago I was sitting in a cafe in Birmingham, watching the world go by - like you do. I was sitting in the corner of the room looking inwards - towards other customers drinking and eating etc.
As I was looking around I became aware of what I think would have made a great image. To the right in the middle ground was a woman sitting on a tall stool facing a wall away from the center of the room. Off to the center left of the middle ground was an old aged couple facing each other whilst they ate, and off in the background was another woman sitting on a low couch, head bent down as she read a newspaper.
All four people looking in different directions, with no connection to each other except the space they shared.
At the risk of boring you all, this kind of fascinates me - people from all walks of life cross paths for fleeting moment in their lives, never to talk, greet or know each other and frozen in an image - captured if you like at the moment they were closest to each other.
