| Rope and Shrimp Boat Hull, Shem Creek, Mt. Pleasant, SC © Doug Hickok (Click on image for larger view.) The word for the day is symbiosis. It is a noun meaning "any interdependent or mutually beneficial relationship." The word dates from 1877 as a biological term, and refers to a mutually beneficial association of two different organisms. In this photo I would like to think that the colors red and green are visually symbiotic, and the boat and rope are just as symbiotic. In my experience, chocolate and coffee (especially chocolate covered espresso beans) going into my face, also exhibit traits of symbiosis... maybe... I hope the coffee and chocolate benefit... somehow... |

Nice lines and color in this. Like how it splits the frame.
ReplyDeletehow about 'man and dog' ... or 'doug/franz and camera' ... i'm sure i could come up with some more ... ;-))
ReplyDeletelove your post of today for its vivid primal colors! the arangement reminds me very much of a national flag, that of portugal perhaps (without the rope, of course ...)
The boat and rope are just as symbiotic. I think it´s a beautiful metaphor.

Greetings my frien Doug.
A super minimalist shot - it could almo0st be retitled "When Mark Rothko met the Cutty Sark"
