SHATTERED DREAMS

Interesting. The light, soft colors imply a tone inconsistent with the realities of this image, the sort of thing people would usually depict with dark, high-contrast black and white. This seeming inconsistency really makes the photo for me. Very original and different.

Thanks. I loved the rough edges of the plaster and the way the windows look as if they are from a painting, not a photo.

I am not sure if what we see inside is some faded phptograph (?)

But even without it... it sure may have been somebody's shattered dream for a successfull enterprise. Powerful Image.

David, it is very well composed and observed , works in so many ways. The broken window has an interesting form and dark color, where the middle shows the inside, what looks part of a house hold. The wall as a "frame " around the window with a bright orange colors, (vs. the dark browns). The diagonal placement on the frame,adds tension to the feeling of shuttered life( or dreems).

I know it is immaginative, but the white blob on the R side has a "human" form looking as if touching the window....

 

 

The whole port a very strong feeling of human ruptured life.

Thank you. What you see inside is all jumbled up. This was a house that was built primarily using logs. The inside is all twisted, and it looks to me as if the house simply caved in on itself from poor engineering. It was in a very rural area in Arizona, and, in fact, may have been and Indian Reservation where there would not have been very strict building code enforcement. So what you see inside is sheetrock and logs. Whoever was building it was definitely a dreamer, and it certainly was a shattered and fallen structure when I came along. Thus, the title.

One helluva fine and moving image, Dave. Well seen, well composed, well made. Warm regards, Joe

Thank you my friend.

Looks like you slipped in when I was answering someone else. Thanks for the wonderful commentary, and, now that you mention it, I do see the humanoid pointing to the window.

Very good composition & caption,David. I like the colours and shapes on the wall and glass-panes.

You have the eye of a forensicist: what happened? what happened next? why? This makes me wonder what the dreams were and why they were shattered. The color and detail are perfectly brittle enough to mirror this thought.
