pnital 36 Posted August 20, 2008 Sometimes memories are fading, and are not very clear in our minds....Thanks for your thoughts. Link to comment
igor_svibilsky 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Mysterious image. I stared at it for a while to get the idea. Link to comment
jbidarra 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Yes, Pnina, memories are a precious and strange, they fade, they come, they go, they move inside our minds... and they gave excellent photos. On the other hand, some photos bring up memories and they can also be very good. I don't know which of the cases it is, but this is a very good image. Regards. Link to comment
gordonjb 10,860 Posted August 21, 2008 All that is left behind as our lives unfurls is a bread crumb trail of memories. Did any of it really happen in the fashion I recall? What has become of all the bits and pieces I have either discarded or simply misplaced? Do they cease to exist? Here the ethereal nature of memory is portrayed in light, traveling both backwards into the past and forwards into the future, both sides of the looking glass. Man, I wish I had taken this shot :-) Link to comment
ektorcoughanour 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Great sepia composition, Pina. I like it very much!...Saludos. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 21, 2008 Igor, mystery and ambiguity, I think, is the chatarcteristic of memories after some time, some are well remembered and some are fading. Thanks for looking and writing . Jose, thanks! Joaquim , I think that both of the possibilities you wrote about are valid, nice explained and well written your impressions. Ahmet, thanks from Israel, we are nieghbors... Gord, what a nice and well written( as usual) your impressions. I like a lot your past and future connection of memories. it is so right, that some will stay vivid for the future ,and some will fade with the passing time. We all are experiencing it both ways....Thanks as well for you last sentence ...;-)) Ektor my friend, so nice to read you here. פארהם, תודה, מאיפה העברית ...... Thanks Parham, where is your Hebrew from?..... Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted August 21, 2008 It is probably just my warped view of the world, but I instantly thought of Rodin's "Gates of Hell." It just seems to me to depict longing, even suffering and being trapped. I love the tones. Excellent IMHO. Link to comment
rogerleekam 0 Posted August 22, 2008 A very intriguing image, Pnina. It grabs us and keeps us for a while because we want to examine all the details. Also quite atmospheric. Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted August 22, 2008 Pnina, what is happening ? Many of us are interested in fading memories:-) I like this shot for it's mood and tone. I have just now commented on Laurent Lacoste's image, on the same theme. Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted August 23, 2008 The dance goes on. And on. And on. A bit nostalgic. A bit hallucinogenic. Very nicely and sympathetically captured. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 23, 2008 David, interesting association to the "Gates of hell". It is a very complicated work of Rodin, was very much Influenced by well known other creatores.Thanks for your special point of view. Maurizio, thanks Roger, welcome back,and thanks for your understanding the atmosphere that is very enigmatic. Amal, you are right it is the mood and tone that takes it to the realm of memories. Mary, thanks as well .The way memories work in our mind is a mystery. Jeff, it is again "life as a dance"....the ambiguity,of what is human life and human memories ,which I have tried to demonstrate here. Jorg, thanks as well. Link to comment
adan1 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Memories are like time machines transporting us from our present reality into a chapter of the past in the book of life. Some of those memories are "bookmarked" because we learned something from them and we go back to reflect on their meanings. You are a great artist my friend. Link to comment
davidorea 1 Posted August 24, 2008 Perfect caption for this excellent photograph. Pnina. Good shot! Congrats! Link to comment
Donna Stavis 0 Posted August 24, 2008 Classic lines. Did you ever see "The Double Life of Veronique"? A movie of a woman who is living in two different countries, two separate sets of circumstances, and will intersect. I like your catching her in movement, freezing a moment in time, but which one?

pnital 36 Posted August 25, 2008 Adan, very nice intelligent evaluation.thank you! Thanks as well Teresa and David. Donna, I don't remember the movie even the name is familiar, the ambiguity is present in this image( anf the others of this series), each will interpret it differently...;-)) Thanks. Link to comment
