Definitely timeless. Most traumatic and beautiful time in the world. I would remember that month (May 2020) everytime I see this photo or similar.
Great point as a reminder or time stamp for those of us who lived through the pandemic. I wonder what someone will think in 20 or 30 years, who maybe wasn't alive at the time of the pandemic? Thanks for commenting!
That’s a classic image for sure!
Facts! So many timeless photos.
Love this B! I agree with the emotional impact. Love candid shots too 👌🏽 your Trinity bellwoods shot definitely qualifies as a timeless photo even if it’s documenting a specific time, it conveyed a new norm
Thanks Sheryln!
Great one Bryan!
Thank you!
We had the same circles in my city in Belgium, Ghent around that time. What a strange two years that was.
Super strange! I had no idea you had the circles over there too. I saw them in Brooklyn, NY as well.
@@BryanBrock_ The photos that came out of it are really impressive too. Highly recommend!
This content is serious fam! - Blessings
Appreciate you bro! 🙏
I think it’s one of those “almost but not quite” pictures. There’s a lot about it that works… the strangeness of the circles in the grass, the colors, the man’s position in the frame… but his head is getting lost in the trees, and I wish we could see something of his expression. I wonder if having people in more of the circles would underscore the idea behind the photo better. If it communicated a little more about what was going on, and what that time was like - it would go a lot farther towards being “timeless”.
Love your breakdown Richard. I agree that it’s almost there, but not quite. I really like the story of the older man stepping out of the circle, but without context it may not have the impact it should. Appreciate you taking the time for the detailed reply! 🙏
there is an iconic photograph by Eddie Adams of an Asian man being shot in the head in Vietnam
I've seen that one, wild. The burning monk photograph is also an iconic image that can never be unseen.
What a "genious" take...timeless photo being a photo referencing a specific time...
Without much context, if a person 30 years from now saw this, It would just look like a random person walking through random circles. Now I might ask myself what the circles on the ground are for?, but Ali standing above his opponent needs no explanation-All the elements are there
I get it. I think there are a few more layers to the story than just the circles, but overall it doesn't carry the same weight as the Ali photograph. That's the interesting thing about "timeless" photos, they don't necessarily need to have all of the elements I mentioned in the video to be considered timeless. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Without the explanation I thought it was just a guy walking through a circle with the explanation I see the circle being more representative of society willfully being told what to do and accepting it without question.
Yeah, it's one of those photos that provide a lot of layers, but maybe it needs the context for the layers to make sense. Appreciate the observation and thanks for sharing!
