Secure Confinement

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 27 May 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I took this shot of the grill to my apartment, and the thought came to my mind, how in an effort to secure ourselves we somehow imprison ourselves both physically and psychologically.

Most social problems can be traced back to a failure in politics! :0) Cool shot!

good thoughts there Stunner
something we all have to ponder over
it's interesting that in more developed countries we have to use these latches and locks but in less developed places like island villages or even jungle villages i think you hard see any of these...
funny how as we become more developed and "civilised" we become more "paranoid"...
anyway, good close-up shot, great cpature of details and textures and contrasting colours!
well done! :)

@kairospix: True kairospix, where i use to live in Portland, my parents house never had grills, but in Kingston it is a necessity.

Nice pic and interesting words. I agree with Kairo, the more advanced we get, the more far from life it takes us. Very well done Stunner.

How very true with your image comments.

What I really like is that your shot is also optimistic in the face of your words, as I notice the gate bolt is open, which to me is like letting the world inside back out, the world outside back in, so the whole shot and comments comes together very well.

It's the prisions within ourselves that I worry about... you've produced a very strong image with this beautifully captured detail.
