Dave (and the others who reviewed this week), Thanks for taking the time to comment. This photo is a bit out of context for me, since most of my work is in the landscape vein. I found this as it appears and had to take it. I suppose it appealed to my sense of the absurd. It certainly needs to be taken literally, as most of the meaning comes from the words. The universe follows its own destiny of exploding black holes in an unimaginably distant future which we, as the human race, may or may not witness, but we dare to predict. The woman is aggressively urging us all to pursue the dream of a longer, healthier life (watch out for that black hole) through a regime of physical fitness. The little arrow above the word "go" points out of the frame to the next page, a bit of which can be seen in the upper right corner. Readers of the S.F. Chronicle might recognize the list of names as the obituary page.
