As HEDley Lamarr once said, “My mind was a raging torrent,” as I saw the bicycle and the folks settled in front. They were dipping their toes in the lake on a warm, sunny day.
Actually, I was thinking of a scene from one of my favorite movies, “Night of The Hunter”. There’s a shot through a cobweb of kids playing in a field. So, my inspiration came from Charles Laughton, the acclaimed actor in his his only directorial effort.
The bicycle, its spokes, the people, the lake and beyond offered many possible stories.
The images on images also reminded me of dream sequences. I was so inspired that I lay down on my stomach to get some of these shots. I would later regret that effort.
File this under my fountain of youth/Fellini picture shoots.

Nice. Sadly I’m not very artistic in my photos.

Thanks, Leslie!! Marilyn gets credit for urging me to try my hand at taking pictures. I enjoy it and it brings out my creativity (I think). I just have to be careful about not overdoing it physically. Still, the challenge is good.

I think it’s cool that a movie inspired you when you were thinking of photography.

Thank you! I’m really a movie “maven” fella. I started going to/ watching movies at age 4 (1946) and the affair has grown over the years. Movie directors like John Ford, George Stevens, etc have inspired me in my professional (TV news) and personal life. I am a walking movie trivia machine.
