Wonderful serial dear Visar...
Kids are just kids..and everything they want is some secret unusual place for play :))
but your serial make me sad cause I think how we (grown persons)can be cruel with kids...how we playing our"games" ruin their childhood....
Maybe we'll be smarter in future.....

big hug and compliments for really great , heartwarming and thoughtful serial:)

dear Biljana,

you're statement about us, adulds, treating kids is very true; as we do not really think wisely when we talk to them. and kids are even better than psychologist when it comes to percieving and internalising information from the outside world. and yes, that is a sad thing.

thanks for the comment,
v.

beautiful composition.. the light on the door with the taciturn children and her facial expression is a story itself.. all three children gets equal attention in this composition.. very good exposure and wonderful tones..
great shot!

I said the other one was so good, and I still mean it, Visar, but this one is astonishing! It is just a moment of continuous time but it looks as if you had conserved not only a moment but a *duration* here! The light and the separation via focus generated a completely live look of the girk at the front. The details of her expression only support this! I expect her to say something and turn back to the game at any moment. Just a thin line to a movie!

All three of them, each with the own importance on the image, look to me like a real group. I can imagine them very well some years later, standing exactly at the same places for a shot of the cover of their album!

Was it a snapshot or did you wait long until they are exactly as depicted?

Cheers!

Nick

Wonderful work again, Visar, those expressions and language of the body it is very familiar to me, I was in their age and always remember the semi torn down houses was always in my interest of what happen why these people lost or left.....I was 8 years old my emotions never change !

thanks for the note on the planes Pablo- lately, i am practicing it a lot, believing in generating more depth and life in the shots,

ciao,

thanks a lot for this comment Bobot,
the idea of having the three children within the frame, in different grounds and action, was intriguing me- and i thought of doing this series using this technique. Having in mind children and remembering that world i thought this might be just a right choice.

thanks,
v.

Hey Nick, thanks a lot for the great comment.

your idea for shooting them at an adult age is really thrilling, whether it be for an album cover or whatever purpose- i think there will be enough for one to interprete, even a composite would be great.

That day, I was all around kids for the whole day- like an intruder. I think i have shot about 50 pics of them, at least, and this is really a huge, labyrinth- like playground of theirs, and used to be mine. so, i came accross them many times, catching them in action.
On this shot, the girl in foreground was asking me about the camera, why am i doing it, when can she get the pics, this and that... and from the outside where i was standing, there was such a great deal of settings, elements, photographically attractive textures, and i was constantly walking with my eye in the viewfinder while waiting for the right time and still talking to them.
They were three kids, mainly, and i had for some time now the idea of shooting a seire in three different planes. So, 'children' at play was just the right choice for that i thought. and yes, i think it proved me right.

cheers,
v.


visar sherifi   {K:16662} 5/19/2008
yes, that sort of 'scars of life' engraved on walls, or whatever might it be, always tickling the imagination of the previous previous times and how it could have been, what was lost...
I think there's a child within each one accompanying us to the end of days,

thanks a lot for the comment Harry,
v.


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:83519} 5/22/2008
Visar... well, what can I say... Are you sure you were merely standing on the outside? To me your answer sounds just as if you were on the very inside of that. If there is any "inside" at all, what else could that be than simply being a real part of it, which allows such direct and sincere image? I think that this is why these images are so good. They don't simply "describe". They get me right into the heart of it all. That place where it is only nice to listen to the questions of the kid.

Cheers!

Nick
