John FitzGerald / Photos

A compendium of poignant commentaries on the human condition

Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto.

OK, I butchered this one -- cut buddy's head off right at the neck. didn't get the subject centred properly, etc. But I was shooting quickly and the opportunity vanished the second after I took this, so I couldn't improve on it.

That's one of the poignant commentaries on the human condition.

John FitzGerald replied to Léopold:

An interesting thought I hadn't considered, Léopold -- about grandeur, I mean, not about the model. Thanks.

I should have been aiming so his feet would be near the bottom, but I was in too much of a rush, Andy.

I can sympathize John. Things often move or change so quickly that getting a "text book shot"
is just not possible. Cheers !

Technically perfect shots are often overrated in my opinion............it's capturing the essence of the scene that really matters and sometimes you just have go go with what you can get..!!

I think you nailed it John..............missing head or not! Love the title :-)

John FitzGerald replied to Keith Burton:

Thanks, Keith. As Canadian Pacific says, in the age of PhotoShop perfection has become boring. And of course the great photographers didn't insist on perfection, nor are their photographs admired chiefly for their perfection.
