Anthropomorphism

Biltmore Avenue, downtown Asheville.

It is our innate nature to attribute human characteristics to inanimate objects and animals; injecting our interpretation of reality and understanding of the world to make sense and therefore create closure in that which we may find disconcerting. Traditional fables with talking animals is one example of a literary device that anthropomorphizes nonhuman characters offering human life lessons in the guise of simple stories. In the case of this photograph below, I saw an intimate narrative unfolding in the interaction of the mannequin and the older woman just behind the plate glass window. By the very act of capturing the image below, I created a universally understood relationship, and therefore the personification of the mannequin.

Hopefully, the woman was able to console the mannequin.

A Shoulder To Lean On

A candid shot of a couple passing through downtown Asheville. It was a week later while reviewing the image that I noticed the cat nestled on the shoulders of the man on the right.
