I like the sequence and the story the tryptych tells, Avi!

In the UK in the 1970s there was a television program where members of a family were shown a close up of an object and they had to guess what it was as the camera slowly panned out revealing more. This does the same for me. The subject is constant but with each image we see more.

It is interesting to see how the minimum depth of field changes as you move further away from the subject.

In there own right each image is nice. The tones are good. Crisp whites and good compositions.

They work together well as a trio.

Be well.

John Hatz   {K:148635} 1/17/2008
Great image...yes, a great composition of the same statue part but from different angles, the focus is great and gives POWER to your subject as you 'fallow' the hand... it's one of the best photos of that subject Avi I ever seen... into my favorites, congratulations for that REAL STUFF shot!!!


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/17/2008
Thanks Mehul for your attention to this work. It is important for me.


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/17/2008
I can visualize the show. Yes, it is a very good comparison. Thanks for your attention, Paul.

Cheers

If each of the images were considered itself alone, Avi, it would be technically superb and also powerful. But it is exactly when they are together, that something arises, which is beyond simple summation of the three.

They preserve the plasticity of the statue and the art of sculpturing, but they achieve also something additional on this small collection of three different views. Something that adds a bit of strange disorientation in the reference to artistic work - perhaps also a bit of chaos, that kind of creative chaos in the head of the artist priorly to physical implementation of what he/she might ever have conceived. (Note that I use the word "chaos" as a quick sublimation of the multitude of ideas and thoughts that *have* to be there before any physical, real existing act of artistic work can take place.)

It seems to me as if you were retrospecting the process of creation that takes place spiritually in the mind of the maker. This study is much like "popping up flashes" of a work that *will* be, but isn't yet!

Technically brilliant, each one of the constituents, with a slight preference of mine towards the image in the middle, just out of personal taste. But all of them have the strong contrasts necessary for a depiction of plasticity, where light and shadow have to participate equally.

Together with your simple and elegant layout of the three, we have an image that could be used as an introductory of a book about sculpture.

Cheers and keep it up!

Nick


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/18/2008
Thanks Nick. As you might have known by now, I do not have the luxury of elaborate setups or models or even gear.. I try and use whatever I get, and try to tell something by myself from it. Glad that you are with me in this ride of mine. :)

Let's make it BIG, shall we ?? :)


SAIKAT  DAS   {K:1621} 1/19/2008
nice concept , nicely executed........


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:98829} 1/19/2008
And I think, Avi, that it is exactly this missing luxury that sharpens the mind for finding always new ways to take the most out of the available. Much like mathematics to me, since it is like drawing the most and the most serious consequences out of the least premises - perhaps this is another implementation of the old say of my ancestors about the fact that it is the absence of the "match" that is the mother of invention, of techique, of pure thinking if you wish, how to overcome the lack by inventing.

I also guess that this plays a big role in my tendency of using the least possible means for photography - thus also no PS. It is not that the images will get better without PS or any other luxury, not at all! It is that I can (hopefully) get better by being able to overcome limitations.

So I can only be glad when I see such images like this one, since they show me clearly that it *is* possible to use the least and achieve the most by sharpening the eye and the mind. The mental process is to me the most important thing, it seems.

Now, let's be very mental and make that spirit a real *BIG* one! ;-)

To you my friend!

Nick


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/20/2008
With you ALL THE WAY, mate !!!

CHEEEEEEERSSS !!!!!


Maja Godec   {K:11602} 1/20/2008
Excellent!!


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/20/2008
Very Glad that you liked it, Maja.


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:98829} 1/21/2008
My glass is raised to the n-th power, Avi!

To you, and a blank glass, as we say in Greek (meaning to emoty the glas as soon as possible!) ;-)

BTW, did you also notice that Visar ( http://www.usefilm.com/photographer.asp?id=122353 ) shares such tendencies and joys like ours? We are already three in the club - one is AVI (the movie), the other is Visar (Visor? ;-)) and the other is Nick with the impossible family name - unfortunately no other advantages of the latter!

Cheers again,

Nick


fotogr@vi     {K:55371} 1/21/2008
Oh yes !!.. I absolutely LOVE his work !!

And who says no other advantages of Nick ?? Nick is the speaker of our minds. Sometimes, it is best left to the photos to speak.. but then, sometimes NOT. And Nick is the BEST MAN for such situations.


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:98829} 1/22/2008
Now you got me again unprepared Avi...

Well, thanks a lot, really! I just try to take some time and perhaps find the words to say what I find extraordinary in your work, and in the work of all the other guys here. Just out of my own personal perception, which I know is no general "law", it appears a bit questionable to and for me, to just say "oh, great!" and go for the next image. I have the impression then, that too much remains "untouched", as if I would be missing the main part of the intentions and visions of somebody that took the photo. So, even if the image does speak for itself, then what does it say to me? And what do I think the situation of the maker was while making it? Do I underdstand the creator, or do I undertstand what I want to understand?

Many too many times of course I can't grasp it at all, but saying something about my impression might create that kind of dialogue that at the end enriches my own limited mind. At the end it's giving and taking for which I can be only grateful - even when "too undiplomatic" comments can turn many angry ;-)

Cheers Avi! And thanks again!

Nick
