| Shattered Mirror - ISO 200, f/4.0, 32mm efl, 1/30 sec |
I did not
deliberately break this mirror, but heard a tremendous crash one night
in a storm and it had fallen away from the wall and shattered. This
illustrates broken as a concept.
Only
one image was needed - but the house opposite is having its roof
replaced before winter and another crash drew me outside to find this,
the concept her is rubbish, thrown away or old and worn out.

Other concepts that are shown in magazines and on TV are:
- wealth, poverty
- taste - food or clothing
- safety
- space (or lack of space)
- happiness
None of these are easy to photograph
directly - so symbols are required. Some come so familiar that the
symbol is enough to bring the concept to mind , a- castle =
protection. Some symbols give mixed messages and understanding depends
on the context. Fire can mean warmth or danger, very different meanings,
almost opposite in nature.
