It's Not All Pretty


Not everything in the art museum during the flower show was cheery and colorful. I turned around from one arrangement and found Auguste Rodin's Despair. No crowd around this piece. Note the curled toes and characteristically large hand covering the head and face. The smooth, muscular body lies on rough rock. But, if you chose to, you could move on to the next group of blossoms and whistle a happy tune.

It's the photographers brain that decide the subject in an overwhelming world of possibilities.

The body language fits Rodin's title. It's a powerful sculpture.
