I made only a few images today and I can’t really tell if the Image of the Day is good, even passable, or not. I’ve stared at it for too long, I’ve twisted it, and now I would need some distance.
What I do know is that I like this bicycle image. I think it’s satisfyingly balanced.
I liked it in color, and when I tried B&W, it somehow stuck, but without necessity. It’s interesting: So many of my decisions are basically random, and that’s not only when it comes to colors. It really goes through my whole life, and I have the suspicion that I’m not the only one. We come to the crossroads, we go one way, not knowing what the decision implies, without the option to go back and try the other way. And still we are able to enjoy our lives.
The Song of the Day is “The Ties That Bind” from the 1980 Bruce Springsteen album “The River”. There are many versions on YouTube, let’s try a very early one. Bruce Springsteen live in December 1978.

Someone once asked me: how do you live your life? And without any thought I replied "By letting things happen". I got a weird look and I must admit that at the time I wasn't sure why I said that but when I thought about it a little I realised that it was totally appropriate. My so-called decisions seem to just happen, the consideration behind each decision just happens, the consequences just happen. Anyway both images work for me. Interestingly on first sight the plastic bag appeared to me as something organic, decaying but organic. It actually took a few seconds for the bag to register and when it did I thought what a perfect transition from organic to plastic.
