Tony makes a return to the Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day. Known as eastyuk here on DPNow, Tony was featured back in December with a great shot of his bounding puppy dog discovering snow for the first time. Today's shot is a poignant record of a scrap of newspaper showing the image of a pretty, but rather soulful looking girl, that Tony found on the ground.
"A picture of a girls face laying in the dirt, a piece of old newspaper- made me a little sad," explains Tony.
At first, I though that this was the result of some Photoshop work, for effect, but it does appear that someone had torn the picture of the girl out of the newspaper and, ultimately, it became just another piece of litter. I'm personally very curious to know who the girl is, what she was thinking and how that expression fitted into the whole story. But I guess we may never know.
