Hi Protacio,
Prison, confinement obviously comes to mind ..., but something is missing to give it more impact, it's just a gut feeling I can't express in words. Maybe a person or handcuffs or chains ... #980813

I almost forgot about this picture.

Rhina taught me not long ago that a fence has two sides. That reminded me of this frame I took two years ago.

When I show this picture, people thinks that it is a prison, but actually it is the front porch of a house. I was walking that night and saw the chair and used the fence to give that confinement sensation.

It certainly feels like a prison but it is a fence of about 3-4 feet tall.

I know it seems like something is missing there. A person in his/her favorite chair, handcuffs will definitely change the whole story but is also a possibility.

The title in Spanish “Esperando” leads us to a chronicle about that “favorite spot” we all have at our home, where we like to spend the afternoons or the nights looking for some fresh air, and perhaps the company of a friend…or a stranger who just happens to walk by with a camera in his shoulder.

Gracias Miguel por tu compañia.

My dad is one of those people that comes out and "chills" on a chair on the porch while reading the paper in the morning. A picture of "his spot" would look just like this. Except his chair is green :)

p.s. I can't even begin to list all the things I have learned about you Protacio. #985241
