I was just riding the bus one day like I never do and came across this scene.
It just hit me like a ton of bricks.
I tried composing it the best I could because it was with my iPod but was still able to get this magnificent shot. It didn't really say many things at first glance but as I stared harder I saw the image really come together.
The truck on the far right represents how labor in the US is being outsourced to other countries. Jobs are literally driving themselves so far out west they go far east to distant lands like China and Hawaii.
Secondly see how the buildings just fade away into nothingness? Well, that's exactly what we are. Nothing. All we do is work towards no common goal, only to die without purpose. To serve no clear deity nor to seek higher enlightenment. We're born, we live, then we hang ourselves from the tree of death who's roots are forever strewn deep into the depths of the Earth, never to be tampered with.
Finally we see a monochromatic cast throughout the entire photo. We often relate this to crippling anxiety and depression in which many of us on /p/ suffer from. We will never live out our dreams as being one of the greats. Many gods exist among our times such as Terry Richardson, Kai Wong and Ken Rockwell, which we will never match them in elegance and professionalism. They use only the most advanced of imaging technologies, while I use every filter preset in VSCO.
So yeah, maybe this turned out better than expected this time. But not every time will be like this very photo.
It hurts, it really does.
