Monomad Tuesday Entry | Street | Sisyphus In the City

in #monomad7 years ago (edited)

I imagine if Sisyphus were real and modern and lived in L.A., he’d be pushing a dumpster perpetually around the Santa Monica pier, trying to keep up with the waste and the excess and the constant influx of entitled zombies.

This would be the steepest of inclines, the most hellish of metaphors. And instead of being a chiseled, powerful king doing penance for his egregious sins, he’d be a poor, hard working immigrant...guilty only of not being born in the default position to win the game of soulless, capitalistic greed.

But hey, I’ve always been a dreamer.

Oh is not it real? I did not know by certain good photos I think you're very good. Greetings I hope you find yourself well :)

The photo or the story? 😄 The Photo is quite real. The mythology is alagory.

The photo I know is real taken by you clear, I wanted to tell the story

Ah! Yes, the “real” story is a Greek myth. I took liberties and updated it.

Good one

Thanks 😊

Ooh, this one is a stunner! :) The color of the t-shirt looks fantastic on my monitor.

Thank you, Dan. This is one of my favorite photos as well. 😊

I had to look up who Sisyphus was; I don't know what would be worse a heavy boulder or a smelly trash bin.

I like the pattern of the wood.

Thanks. Yes, the repetitive pattern totally makes the shot.
