Subject: [Leica] IMG: Assignment as seen by Phx - The Crisis 1 & 2

A warning : I had been thinking about the assignment and couldn't come 
up with a way to demonstrate its grip.
I sense that somewhere, somehow, everything takes place inside people's 
minds, and of course in the viewer's, well most of it so far here at least.

So rather than shoot misery, I've decided to try and express my own 
feelings,
others' can't be perceived by the camera,
only their symptoms can,
even if tramps, houses for sale or closed businesses and more can be 
seen in vast numbers.
But they existed beforehand as we know and have demonstrated through our 
photos prior to this episode, a dramatic one for many.

Here are two snaps expressing my vision of the fall - to be continued, 
maybe, and hopefully not for long.

Bien cordialement de Metz
