'Jailhouse Rock'


'Jailhouse Rock', originally uploaded by Canadapt.

- Toronto, Ontario, Canada -

They are building a new highrise building along Queen's Quay E. in Toronto and when I came upon this scene - for reasons only a neuropsychologist or poet could explain - I immediately thought of the ancient 'music video' (it's not really a video but actually a movie) of Elvis Presley's 'Jailhouse Rock' ... I think you have to be over 50 to even have a chance of knowing what I am talking about.

Click THIS LINK 1.) if you are under 50 - or 2.) if you are over 50 and don't know what I am referring to - or 3.) if you are over 50 but just like great rock and roll. And if you don't fall into any of those categories check it out anyway ... it's a classic!

I do like that moment in photography where the potential of a scene for yielding a good photograph provokes a visceral reaction ... this was just such a scene for me.
