It must be the poet in Susan Ersinghaus that has her finding the beauty and story in the everyday world.
Her photographic contributions to the 100 Days: Summer 2009 project have been spot on with Steve Ersinghaus’ story (yes, that’s her mate). She has read his daily narrative, picked up a camera and found in her own environment the very essence of theme, nailing it perfectly to a phrase that has caught her attention.
The image here is from a phrase, “It’s all about connecting the dots” and the obvious image of the mug offers the setting for story. But it’s the hand holding the cigarette that is telling of character, mood, tone– foreshadowing of conflict possibly? The palm up position is a gesture I construe as a question.
Beautiful work–and some fun stuff as well.
