  1. It is four expositions on the same frame of film. One of them is the neon lights on the street, then we have the metal railings in a tram, a small puppet of death in a horror shop and the reflections on the window of another tram.

     

    Many thanks for the comment. Best wishes,

    Hi and thank you for the nice detailed comment!

     

    Indeed one of my main subjects is exactly this: To capture those every day moments in hurry, to get some of all these impressions on photos. I really can't say why I find them so interesting and sometimes so much saying. It seems that at least partially I capture my own experiences. You know, waking very early in the morning (or in the middle of the night, if you wish ;-)) to just get to the job, all those silent hours in trains, being solitary in the middle of the crowd, and at the same time knowing that they are all human beings running for being able to live - all these things seem to make me want to capture these scenes as a kind of silent observation of a rather depressing situation.

     

    Your Photoshop experimentation I wouldn't name "cheating" at all, since the idea of that view was in your mind, which is *the* criterion for artistic expression. I find your idea extraordinery remarkable, since on the one hand the colors of the gradient are not the colors of a "usual" sky, and on the other hand you still managed to "construct" a photo that doesn't give the impression at all, of having an artificial sky as background. For me this is a hint for a very special gift of view of things that are not, but might have been. A kind of photographic "what if" analysis!

     

    Many many thanks again and keep it up!

    I can see that too now. A reduced color palette and all in all a rather... still standing scene, really telling something in a whisper that I won't grasp. Thank you for making it clear to me - the scene tells something that the rational understanding is not quite able to decode to understandable information. I think that this is why I am also fascinated of this photo.

     

    Take care and thanks again!
