'Gone Now'
I didn't like coming across this scene. Many children would be happy to have a monster sized Teddy bear sitting in their bedroom. I found this sorry one that somebody just blatantly left it in a dumpster. The first thing I usually think about is: why? There could be a bunch of valid reasons, starting with the emotional ones and ending in completely reasonable ones. But, whatever the reason was, it could have been done differently. How about leaving it by the dumpster to start with? A poor kid would be thankful.
In this photograph, the bear is a sad symbol of passing childhood. The passing time inevitably brings change to everyone's life and old things are gradually replaced with the new ones. Nothing can be done about it. As they say, nothing lasts forever but the change itself. One needs to accept that irrefutable fact because there is no other sane way of dealing with it. Life can only move forward in time. If there is such thing as time...
Colors are reduced to mainly green with a small accent of red that I added to complement the green. The rest is quite colourless and very appropriate to the desired mood. The light is diffused, rare shadows are soft. Even if it doesn't appear so on the first sight, the image is quite dark. The Teddy bear's expression is sad. It appears as if he's sitting in disbelief as to what has happened. I took the photograph from another angle, too. But, believe it or not, Teddy's expression is different from another angle and it does not fit the idea at all.
I also had a Teddy bear once. It just came to my mind. Wonder where and when did that yellow fellow leave my life? But, as I already said, this road only leads forward, there are no U-turns...
Enjoy going forward. It is the only direction, anyway! :)
