Godfrey,
I really like this. Is there a back story to it... staged or spontaneous?
Cheers,

Hi,
I like dip- and trip- and even quadrip- (lol, ?) tychs. They often tell a story or give more food for thoughts than a single image.
After having looked at this triptych for a while I felt uncomfortable. I had to look up the word Trolley and found it probably means "out of her mind" in this case, no?
The title and the images go well together. And what that was disturbing suddenly fits and then there isn't much to say about the bleach approach, or the shoes, or the somewhat unbalanced impression the triptych makes.
Interesting. Anyone understanding the title at once probably never thinks of the small details as they get it from the start. What happens if the title is changed, or removed?
regards, /Jonas

@ simonclivehughs:
backstory:
"Trolley Dance 2009" was the sixth annual event of its kind in San Francisco a few weekends ago. Essentially, a range of dance performances was arranged along the route of the "J Church" trolley line (San Francisco's MUNI) from Dolores Park to Balboa Park. You bought a day pass on the trolley and followed the entertainment. From park to park there were eight or nine performances to enjoy (and photograph...).
This particular scene was from the second to last performance in Balboa Park. It was two women and an accordian player, very emotional and moving to watch and listen to.
@ jonas:
Never heard of that definition of "trolley" before. I think you're mistaking the word 'trolley' with the English language expression "off one's trolley" which means to have gone mad, run amok, etc.
Thank you both for looking and commenting!

Aha. Trolley as tram in this case then. You know, out of 9 different ways to interpret the word "trolley" I picked the only one not having anything with cars or trams.
So, there you go then. I felt uneasy and

Well, "in a confused mental state" fitted well to what I thought the dancer tried to present. Interesting again,

Godfrey,
Very nice triptych. The "somewhat unbalanced impression the triptych makes", as noted earlier makes it seem more dynamic, as if the frames continued off to the right. Cheers,

I am actually looking for ways to bring my Lightroom and Photoshop workshops to more locations. This effort is just getting rolling now. Next month, I'll be offering another round of Photoshop, then in January I've been asked to do another Lightroom and a new workshop on Digital B&W.
If anyone has any ideas for putting together a workshop tour, I'd love to know them.
