What do I see in this edgy, cool, black and white photo? I’ve been looking forward to this week’s challenge all week; I feel a bit like a kid waiting for Christmas! Being a painter, my world is predominant about color. When I saw this black and white image, I wasn’t sure how to handle it. My first response was that it reminded me of a Rorschach inkblot. The overall impact of this image is in the stark contrast of the black and white. I investigated the details a bit and they were fascinating, but the impact for me was the totality of the image upon initial consumption.

Here is my interpretation via haiku.

A white-toothed grin
with braces made of people
sitting upon chairs.

  1. And you know what, I think it’s brilliant. I’m a big fan of sideways interpretation of photo prompts, so I’m glad you didn’t the challenging nature of the prompt stop you!

  2. I think this one is really imaginative, albeit a trifle sinister 🙂 You did help me discover something else in the image: the bat-signal! Brilliantly done!

  3. Haiku scares me so I never touch the craft. This is a stunning take on the visual prompt. Merely a visitor intrigued wondering if to join. Thank you for sharing.😇
