I/She/He/They Stood There Waiting
Waiting was yesterday’s Friday challenge theme. We stood waiting in the queue for the 3rd “Grand Antique d’Aubert®” marble 2017 symposium organised by Italian marble excavation company Escavamar from Carrare. The show – we’ll get back to that in a forthcoming post – had not yet begun and I took this opportunity to shoot the candlelit footpath that went into the quarry and led to the beautiful and humongous black marble slabs carved out from the mountain.
A few months before in Grand-Palais, we met that guy who had stood there waiting for a long long time.

There is a lot of character in the photo of the socks drying.
There is indeed. And it was sort of gratifying to find out that other people do have orphan socks too!
My daughter wears nothing but.
I’ve always thought of waiting as a hassle, but you’ve elevated it to an art. I love every single image in this set, Yann — beautiful work!
Thank you so much Heide. Waiting, in itself, may also be an Art. Don’t you think?
“Waiting, in itself, may also be an Art.” I agree 100%, Yann. Very well said!
