Hans, the fourth member of their group is a photographer and usually dedicated to his work. Gretta, in the foreground, is becoming impatient because instead of taking the photo and moving on, something out on the channel seems to have distracted him and he's just standing there, slack-jawed and wide-eyed.
I am attracted by the ironic, particularly in connection to "the awful." This scene probably never took place, but it could have.
When the S.S. Titanic rubbed up against an iceberg, young voyagers enjoyed an impromptu game of ice hockey on the First-Class starboard deck, kicking pieces of ice about, laughing and having fun.
In August 1945, in Hiroshima, two boys were hurrying to school when one tripped, skinned his knee and dropped his books. He chided himself as his friend rounded the next corner calling for him to hurry or he'd be late. In the next moment his friend was incinerated but the clumsy boy survived.
If anyone doesn't know already, on June 6, 1944 US Army meteorologists predicted there would be a brief break of clear sunny weather. Dwight Eisenhower ordered the Allied invasion of Europe to start. The first warning on shore came as the morning haze lifted revealing a channel dotted with 10.000 ships. The invasions of western Europe drew German resources away from the eastern front and hastened the Russian victories that brought this part of World War 2 to an end. The cost was very high but would have been higher except the Allies were able to surprise the German defenders regarding the day and locations of the landings.

Edwin Loftus is an American painter and draftsman born in 1951. His interest in art began at the age of 4 when he decided to draw something real rather than working from his imagination.
As a child he excelled at drawing and as a teenager he began to experiment with oil painting. In college, he took courses in art and art history and realized that true art had nothing to do with the quality of the drawing or painting, but that it had to have the ambition to push the boundaries and expand the visual experience.
He also studied philosophy, psychology and history and quickly realized that it was just another art establishment trying to defend its elitist industry and reward system. Their skills were almost non-existent, they knew nothing about psychology, perception or stimulus response, and they were extensions of the belief system that made communism, fascism and other forms of totalitarianism such destructive forces in the world. They literally believe that art shouldn't be available to ordinary human beings, but only to an elite "sophisticated" enough to understand it.
Edwin Loftus realized that the emperors of art had no clothes, but they were still the emperors. Gifted in art, he worked hard to acquire this skill. So he found other ways to make a living and sold a few artworks from time to time. For sixty years, many people enjoyed his works and some collected them.
Today, Edwin Loftus is retired. Even if he sold all his paintings for the price he asked, "artist" would be the lowest paid job he ever had... but that's the way it is. It won't matter to him after he dies. He just hopes that some people will like what he does enough to enjoy it in the future.
