Thanks Greg. I'll play with your suggestion.

Victor, I will definitely try your bench picture. I think you're right, it's an image in itself.

I have always been effected by alienation, both other peoples and my own. Not to get political, and I have no desire to argue on this issue, but the one part of Marxism that resonated with me was its observations concerning alienation. However, I personally believe alienation has nothing to do with capitalism. The only time in my life I experienced a lack of alienation within a culture was when i was living among a group of folks surviving by gardening, fishing, and small scale agriculture. However, even here, this culture was alienated from those trying to dominate it. And my feelings might have been a result of me being too stupid to see it.

In the picture I posted, the man, the woman, their positioning, the empty bench, the modern interior spacing, the dark lighting, are all presented to the viewer as a glimpse (a picture) of how alienation sometimes feels to me. If the image suffers from a clear lack of focus its because the feeling I'm trying to represent is fuzzy, yet real.
