nuclearfurnace 0 Posted June 4, 2003 I like this one but I would really like to see the photo without the lamp in the picture. Is the subject the lamp or then object in the background? Link to comment

gavin.zougmail.com 0 Posted June 4, 2003 Thank you for your comments. In fact the subject of this picture is something I want to play with. It's a conflict of subjects in a static image. When you look at the picture, it's very difficult to concentrate on the two subjects at the same time. If you look at the lamp, the woodwork becomes the background. If you look at the woodwork, the lamp becomes close to you and looks like the light source of the picture. Either way is acceptable. In fact, in Chinese culture, these two subjects represent two philosophies. The figures in the woodwork are mundane, while the figure in the lamp is transcendent. And the light of the lamp represents something enlightening. Link to comment
