First I want to apologize for my tardiness on this post I had a hard time finding a photo that I wanted to post. The studium of this picture is that of an abandoned railroad. The railroad connotes industrial, and a bygone era. The overgrown plants on either side also allude to the bygone feeling of the picture. The punctum in the picture is the women wearing and more specifically the high heals.The heals and her overall appearance are so far removed from the scene that she is in that it makes the viewer take a double take. Her presences and her clothing creates the feeling that she is lost.
I really like this shot and I totally agree with your ideas on the studium and punctum. I would add that the fact that she's looking over her shoulder adds to the feeling that she's lost. It's like she realizes that she doesn't know where shes going or even where she came from. Good shit.
