Project Waitin' on Joe* - February 08, 2003
Although the title sounds naive, I believe this subject is photographically heavy. It's about us human beings waiting on that illusive dream while life passes us by. I have a feeling that observing and 'recognizing' a shot conforming to this theme will be pretty challenging out on the street. We'll see how it goes... :-)

 

For those who've no idea what 'Waitin' on Joe' is all about, here's a brief transcript of the opening of Steve Azar's music video "Waitin' on Joe"

*Waitin' on Joe :: Steve Azar :: Mercury Records

[Morgan Freeman opens the video with this narration:]

I don't know about anywhere else, but I reckon right here in the delta, man spends about 70% of his time just waiting; waiting on somebody; waiting on something.

Yea, there's something in our lives that we've been working on, sweating for, chasing that illusive dream.

Most of us will keep waiting until our time here's over.

Why?
'Cause it matters.

Hmph!

Sometimes I wonder what we're really waiting on, is ourselves; that maybe there's a whole lot of Joe deep down inside each and everyone of us.

We focus so much on what we're waiting for, that we miss or forget to appreciate what we've got.

Through this, there'll always be something we'll need or want, something we feel we have to have, a yearning for... something missing...

We could wonder how long it's gonna take, or how much must one endure?

Or we could wonder, "Are we just wasting our lives... Waitin' on Joe...?"

[This is where the song starts.]


In the video, I personally like the part that goes...

Towboat's - a - leavin' 'cause it don't care...
what's not on board and who's not there...
Once that whistle blows, down the mighty river it rolls
Man, if I could be more like that,
I'd get on with my life and never look back,
instead of waitin' on Joe...
