anatomy of an image...

its funny what a $20 poker night, and onion bagel—toasted with butter, a prompt Q46 and a little 'Hit the Lights' can do for you...

at least, that's what you think...

true, when i came up with the idea of taking this shot, after my long walk down the E and F platform at Union Tpke Station in Kew Gardens, 'Hit the Lights', the opening track of Metallica's seminal debut "Kill 'Em All" was indeed blaring through from my IPod. But after a readjustment of distance and a second attempt thwarted by camera displacement, "Hit the Lights' had gone silent. To keep the spirit of the original vision alive i continued with the mosh pose against the graffiti background to Sade's "Nothing Can Come Between Us"...

a picture is worth a thousand words, sure. But those words don't necessarily represent the truth...

enjoy your Sunday, J-E-T-S!!!...
