Dusty red car

Of the shots from this roll of film that I uploaded to Flickr, this one receive by far the fewest likes. But I like it.

I like the bold red of the car against the graph-paper wall of the building. The red fire alarm that matches the car’s colour. The parking signs. The plant behind the frosted glass window.

Photographs are a subjective topic, aren’t they?

My anxiety persists. It’s causing difficulty with my sleep (not stopping me from falling asleep, but preventing me from going back to sleep when I wake early) It’s leaving me feeling fatigued and I keep catching myself almost nodding off while watching TV in the middle of the day. I need to find some techniques to keep it at bay but, in honesty, I think the only thing that will remove it is resolution or acceptance of the thing that’s causing it.
