The irony in photography!

Irony in Photography
Signature Tune



I found this photograph rather disturbing. I found much irony in the row of empty red chairs which actually detracted from the beauty of the setting.

There are others who would say it is the chairs that are the compelling feature of the Photograph.


I do wonder how it affects you.

Crystal Lake, Vermont, 1997

Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita

A row of red lawn chairs lines the shore of Crystal Lake, a 778-acre (315-hectare) glacial lake in northeastern Vermont popular for swimming, boating, and fishing.

The lake area is known as the place where Robert Rogers retreated with his legendary Rogers' Rangers regiment in 1759 following an infamous raid on an Indian enclave in St. Francis, Quebec, during the French and Indian War.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, “Vermont: Suite of Seasons,” September 1998, National Geographic magazine)

Well, what did you think?
