I find that including a person (or an animal -- some living thing) in a picture animates the shot and provides a sense of scale. It doesn't even matter who the person is or what they look like, though obviously the more interesting the better!<br /><br />Mitchell: If you download it, I'd recommend an e-book as opposed to an audio book. The book is written in many different voices, and I can't see how an audio book would work.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Absolutely -- animals work too! I'm glad I'm not there, it's true. But as I've often said, we have the same problems here. In fact just a few weeks after we moved to London in 2011 there were race riots related to a police shooting. We saw people burning things in the street. History repeating itself, right?<br /><br />Bug: It WAS compelling, definitely. I got a kick out of that poster too!<br /><br />Sharon: Yeah, this is a great time to be a reader!<br /><br />Ellen: Tom was cute back in the day, but then he got a bit creepy.<br /><br />Red: Absolutely. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and do more.<br /><br />Beth: I don't mind OLD Tom Cruise movies. I'm not sure how I'd feel about seeing him onscreen now. He's lost his appeal for a lot of people, hasn't he?<br /><br />Catalyst: "Risky Business" is a GREAT movie. I was in high school when it came out. I remember it well!<br /><br />Robin: I hope people realize that when I don't talk about current events here, it's not that I'm avoiding them or ignoring them. I'm simply trying to reflect my life, personally, and provide some relief from that "drumbeat."<br /><br />John: Looks that way! People are out and about more here, that's for sure.<br /><br />Jenny-O: It is! Essential medicine, even!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-40163857898071902772020-06-03T03:49:41.265+01:002020-06-03T03:49:41.265+01:00A long walk is great medicine for mind and body.A long walk is great medicine for mind and body.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-62384634360109757142020-06-02T20:23:58.533+01:002020-06-02T20:23:58.533+01:00Things are moving aren't theyThings are moving aren't they John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-9520531258655433402020-06-02T18:59:21.217+01:002020-06-02T18:59:21.217+01:00A good long walk is the best way to balance these ...A good long walk is the best way to balance these crazy times.

That ought to tell you how old I am. I began watching a series of CNN specials my wife had recorded awhile back "Race for the White House". Yesterday I first watched the Obama-McCain campaign and then the Reagan-Carter race. They're both fairly shallow but enjoyable.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-58886617430478771512020-06-02T16:00:46.268+01:002020-06-02T16:00:46.268+01:00I just love your photo opportunities.

The second one made me chuckle. <br /><br /> It is great that you have run into people. Now the teachers, I am still shaking my head. I guess that now it is getting warmer weather and people are not working that they are just doing things that they now have time for.<br /> I wish I could get out and walk again. I really miss it but my legs start cramping before I can go a full block. <br /><br /> Give Olga a special treat and a hug. Take care and stay away from Tom Cruise movies. That man is really weird. Have a great day/evening.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Beth Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103650100630485292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-27802014426609265792020-06-02T15:13:23.414+01:002020-06-02T15:13:23.414+01:00A good walk gives lots of good photo ops.A good walk gives lots of good photo ops.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-72901156081139999212020-06-02T15:07:05.387+01:002020-06-02T15:07:05.387+01:00Glad you got out for a longer dogless walk. and To...Glad you got out for a longer dogless walk. and Tom Cruise, the forever boy, he's finally starting to look a little long in the tooth.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-86072369791195348032020-06-02T14:49:38.512+01:002020-06-02T14:49:38.512+01:00I bet it felt so good to get out for a long walk. ...I bet it felt so good to get out for a long walk. I'm wishing I could do the same thing. I've just finished three books, all different but all good in their own way. I might have to do a post about them. One good thing about this pandemic is that I've certainly been reading more and the list of movies I've seen keeps getting longer and longer.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-60080971250796826712020-06-02T14:38:44.688+01:002020-06-02T14:38:44.688+01:00I'm glad you enjoyed Lincoln - it's weird,...I'm glad you enjoyed Lincoln - it's weird, but weirdly compelling :)<br /><br />Love the arsehole sign!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-35541821898412151342020-06-02T13:32:14.732+01:002020-06-02T13:32:14.732+01:00I agree with Mr. P.

I've noticed that even pictures with an animal in them can do the same. <br />You should be so glad you're in Britain now. It feels like this country is about to blow. It's scary, Steve.

So, thanks for your great shots. Hmmm... maybe I’ll download Lincoln in the Bardo. Won’t read Amnesty. References to Tom Cruise just piss me off.

Seriously though - the presence of one or two human beings really perks up what might otherwise be mundane compositions.
