About Again in the railway station, this time in Zurich, just some minutes before I would get in the bus for travelling back to Lucerne. The clock was ticking over the heads of all people that were waiting in the silence of their fatigue, as they kept on looking the void with eyes empty of expression. It had something of Orwell's "1984". And then I realized, that that damned ticking thing up there was not only telling us when the train was going to depart. It was also counting each and every second that we already had lost in that kind of non-living. With each tick the amount of yet available seconds kept on being lowered by just 1. Great news.

So I had to try a shot with a visual symbolic dominace of that merciless counting machine, which is always there even if no clock is around.

I would be very glad for any comment.

I like the isolation of the clock, Nick, it has a haunting quality!

Oh well, and I had a short argueing some time ago here, where I was quite against the sentimental usage of "spirits" and "ghosts" and "messages from Sam" - you know what I mean ;-)

Thanks a lot for your comment! It has been indeed that kind of "race against time" that everybody can only run on his/her own.

All the best,

Nick

Thank you very much again, Mahassa!

It's always very interesting to see how other people look at the own photos. Here (and in the whole series that I am posting now) I didn't have any kind of "artistic" wishes at all. It was only documenting some rather bitter reality. But on the other hand, perhaps even that could be named "artistic" wish?

Interesting question... :-/

Nick


mahassa bahri   {K:10958} 10/3/2007
well maybe you were documenting some reality but the result IS artistic my friend,
best, mahassa


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:128003} 10/4/2007
Undoubtfully it is. Under that point of view it really seems better to not even try to introduce any additional "artistic look", since this only mixes up apples and oranges and distorts any possibly good image beyond recognition.

I thought you meant that I intentionally tried to introduce some "artistic look", but after your clarification I understand what you mean.

Cheers,

Nick
