Sense of silence

Nighthawks

Nighthawks  When I first saw the Nighthawks painting a few days ago, I was taken aback by how Edward Hoppe managed to capture a sense of silence. This painting raises so many questions. What are these people doing so late into the night, do they know each other (e.g couples/friends or even strangers) etc.  The painting captures a feeling of loneliness and isolation that matches Hopper’s description of it as “literally an illustration of loneliness.” Edward Hoppe,  American, 1882–1967

My Daily Photo Blog

My plan for the blog section is to share an original picture taken by myself each day or at least once a week.

Under the normal circumstance, this would not present a challenge given that living in the outskirts of London offers ample opportunities to capture the multiplicity of life and culture on my doorstep.  At the time of writing this post, 6th January 2021 @21: 47, we have entered the third national lockdown due to Covid-19.  This is likely to hinder my ambition to bring a new image each day – since I ‘m working from home now and only venturing out to do essential shopping or going out for occasional daily exercise.

However, I remain resolved to find subject matter worth capturing for sharing with you on this site. I also look forward to your comments and feedback.
