When I used to roam around the neighborhoods of New York, where I lived at the time, I took many photographs of settings that caught my eye. Visual elements were not the only consideration that caused my finger to snap the shutter. At the time I took the picture below, I was not having any luck with the dating scene. Somehow the iron spikes, the posters and the romantic scene made a meaningful combination to memorialize on film.
I love how the elements of a photo or painting can hold such different meaning for different people. I like the back story to accompany the photo.

Thank you. Sometimes I leave it up the the viewer to supply a backstory. This time I offered mine.
