Memories of past time

Thank you for your comments and critiques!

I like the concept . Light and the shadow are just right for this photo.

Regards to you!

Very nice work, Gunnar!

Wonderful idea, great perspective and carried off with your usual aplomb.

Interesting shot!

But I think that left a few is not enough space.

Very good pov and title choice. So, the gentleman's conterfei on the right picture ended up in an art gallery...

All is perfect! A very nice work, compliments!

very nice! but is the week of the exibitions in pn.... i am very admired, becouse the man looking seems to look at himself, and also colors of dresses are the same of the picture. did you shooted for this reason?

Hi Andrea, no, I didn´t shoot this photo for the reasons you pointed out. I was long time on upper balcony and was waiting that at least someone is coming, at least someone will stop for a few seconds. I was just lucky with this guy. I also see the similarities and looks like this is a portrait of this man. This is the face of Lenin on the painting. The photo is taken on the exhibition of Estonian art and design of 1970s/1980s (under the Soviet regime). The face of Lenin was more or less obligatory in art that time. The face of Lenin was everywhere - on main squares of towns, in classrooms, in factories, in hotels lobby rooms, in your office, etc. Lenin is watching you and shining for Soviet people:-). As on this painting Lenin´s face is even above the Sun:-). In my interpretation the man is looking at the painting and remember these times under Soviet regime and occupation. That´s why "Memories of past time".

Beautiful shot...nice POV and composition...lovely colors...my best

Vaht,very good angle...congrats

Very strong pic, Gunnar, I think your idea is fulfilled just right. I also grew up with this bandit's face hanging on every wall. To follow up on this theme I attach a photo I took 1.5 years ago in Latvia with a big billboard advertising a similar exhibition. Hope you will find it entertaining. Cheers, Vadim
