the runner and the photographer

This is the result of holding the camera up to see if there really is a photograph here. To see if the frames make a composition. And behold a runner passes me by and in a few quick strides he is gone. I have a photo that is more than I first perceived. The runner has no idea he is the subject of art, well, of a photograph at least. Maybe it is best that it stays that way. I prefer photos of people in a general sense, rather than a person in particular, it seems more optimistic (and running is optimistic), were as the particular seems more melancholic to me.
