| Walking through the frame at LA's Union Station. I like the light on the man's hair and face. The dashes of light camera right add interest, too. |
As reported last week the editing process continues apace and with it our experiment with the ideal number of images in a weekly post. Last week had two related photographs from the sun kissed Viansa Winery in Sonoma. There was a glass of good Sonoma rosé next to my camera as I recall. Somewhere I have a photograph to prove it.
Since the goal was two images last week that’s what you got.
And to bring this experiment to its logical end, a single
image graces this page. The photograph which I’ve called Through the Looking
Glass sees two figures walking behind large windows above the concourse to
the gates at LA’s Union Station. The window frames a couple who are seen in
something more than silhouette. Since the photograph has no counterpart, it
stands alone today. I’ve been holding this one for this single image post. I can see a stylistic relationship to last week’s duet so the segue
from last week seems apt.
It does take less words when a fellow posts a single image. That prompts to me to ponder how much text is ideal for a weekly post. Please don’t say none.
As to the ideal number of photographs in a post I'm persuaded that less is best and that unless the post is really enhanced by the image in question don't use it.

As to your ongoing search for the ideal number of images and length of accompanying text, for me, more is better on both counts. One image may tell a story on its own, which is fine, but if more are required to continue to the thread, bring them on. And your creativity when it comes to writing knows no bounds. Only a fool would say less is more in that regard. Thanks, Steve, for continuing to explore the world in many ways and bringing that to us every week.
Love the abstract quality of this image. I'm left wondering where these people are going. But, then again, the mystery is part of the appeal. Pondering the less is more theme... Perhaps it depends on how many photos and words are necessary to tell the story and how much of the story one wants to tell?
