Lovecraft
the essence of pathos and the embodiement of optimisim….. I was driving by and stopped at the lights approaching King street Newtown and I saw this little urban vingette and I just couldn’t resist… quick as a flash I had the old camera out of my handbag and got one frame off before the lights changed or the would be athlete saw me… maybe this is a bit cruel but I find it quite touching to be honest

Me too, he looks like he’s praying. Or having a nananap.
Juilee Pryor replied
hi Cathleen and yes he does look like he’s offering up a little prayer… maybe that the bus comes and no one he knows sees him….still at least he hasn’t got lycra shorts on…. oh dear can you imagine….. :)

Seriously. It’s just a bike.
Juilee Pryor replied
sigh I know Lawford but still I couldn’t help myself… I found the scene just to cute for words….. not to worry with a bit more biking maybe the guy will be ready for some lovecraft really soon…. lets hope so anyway
Clare McClelland
love the spontaneity of this capture – and so ironic.Perhaps he’s praying for a little stamina before taking off on his 2-wheeled lovecraft!! It’s somehow quite an intimate shot!
Juilee Pryor replied
hey thanks Clare and you know I find it an intimate moment too… there is just something so very very human about that gap between desire and reality and the way we all fall through it sometimes….. oh dear…..:)
