My dear wife described this snap as “gross but good, just like all your others” which I take as a big compliment, usually she says’ oh my god’ or words to that effect. In my view photography is often used to beautify the ugly whereas I somehow manage to uglify everything. This is outside the labour party conference a few weeks back hence the river of Jeremy Corbyn badges on the ground,
On many levels your missus is correct. My own analysis concerns the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, crumpling and bending, but not tearing or gluing and in those respects it’s quite a good snap.
