Peter Apos:If anyone is interested in a similar subject see Peter Keetman's "Highboard" shot in 1957 and made as a silver gelatin print....(See: The Photo Book by Phaidon 1997 pg 238)

Is this the photo you are thinking of?

breathtaking

Excellent 'flow of time' portret. The double semantic codes of the clock: mechanical clock and pendulus clock make me physically feel the flow of time. It's more than just simple juxtaposition, it's changing from a plain common place 'clock is time' to a relief vigorous 'grabs you by the hand' metaphor of (life)time. At the end, a subtle glitter of light.

Just noticed the title. Amazing. We're still young, there is still way to go until dawn ;-) Is that how the train station is really named?!

PS. Please excuse my poor english.

The thought that certain body parts are inappropriate for photography is absurd!

it used to be a game of shades and mistery and depth. nowadays it's just coldblood scrutiny of naked empty surfaces.

some people may prefer the first way. is this absurdity?

make one think. both photo and prose. thanks.

remarcable. i like it enough to spend time looking at this one and to find that i maybe would have like it even more if the silhouetes were completely dark.

and in black and white. at least from our perspective. may i remember you that our eyes have different sensor cells for colour vision and light intensity vision? just go outside on a full moon and try to tell the grass color...

right out of 'stalker'

Last Judgement.

I agree this is perfet in technique. It's also very good for journalism. It may be good for a medicine class. But for someone who is not interested in sports is pretty much an abstraction.

First, the faces of the actors are hidden. there is absolutely no eye expression; two actors of three have no face whatsoever. I cannot feel and empathyize with any human being in the picture (is there any?!), I can only rationaly think: 'that must hurt'.

Second, the very perfection is an enemy of this photo: it's just too static. It does not depict the pace, the speed, the tumult. It just looks as a static studio (!) picture.

Finally, it fails as an abstraction. The only thing it captures well is chaos - it lacks symetry and shape force lines - so it's very hard for me to consider it aestethically pleasant.

is looks like a mirrored image. if you really want to be 'creative', try a six axis mirroring, as in kids caleidoscope.

I think nobody said this IS a photoshop 'work'. the dispute was if it LOOKS like one. To me is an mixture of abstract shape and sheer concrete(ness). The second term of the equation excludes the photoshop looks hypothesis...

i don't know. i can feel the wall texture, and that does not look like an photoshop artifact ;-)

There are moments when the skies open for a few moments and let us see beyond. The things around us are suddenly enlightened with beauty. You have the gift. You captured such a moment. You share it with us. Thanks.
