The Human Condition

Street is the stage of life. Often it is a mir­ror of  The Human Con­di­tion.

I used to call one of my gal­leries on über.com that way — some of you may remem­ber this ambi­tious project, which did not sur­vive long though.

THC was not my idea, but the name of a photo-contest that I par­tic­i­pated in some years ago — held by the Lightstalkers-community and curated by Andy Levin.

I feel it fits much bet­ter than this some­what nar­row term “street”, which is just a part of it. In the mean­time “The Human Con­di­tion” has been adopted by oth­ers as well, which I appre­ci­ate of course ;)
