Out of Workers

Okay, so technically they aren't workers--yet?? But I still felt it somehow relates to this week's theme and the struggle so many of us are facing in these trying times. (Administrator can feel free to reject the tag if so desired!)

And technically the original shots weren't taken this week. But the photo OF the photos was taken today! Per a Photojojo technique (and one very effectively used here recently by PixelChix) I set my camera in front of the computer screen, started a slide show of 3 full-screen photos, and snapped a long exposure. This is my very first attempt of such a thing and I can see there is lots of potential.

Nicely constructed shot and interesting take on the theme.

Haunting and powerful image. The expression and body language of the man sitting tells such a story. Beautifully done!

[Jo Arrowsmith]

Wow - what an interesting technique. Fantastic outcome!!

Amazing! I love what you did with this photograph. I may have to try it, such an awesome idea!
I love the grunge look to it and the theme is definitely relate-able (is that a word???) to so many people.
