I like it Andrew. Creative.

I have seen your work in other sites as well. Every time when I look at your images, I keep wondering - How would you come up such ideas. They are thought provoking, they are very neat. And many a time i would not get if any story behind the images. And last but not least, how do you get all these props?

Would you mind sharing some of your techniques? Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Elangs.


Andrew Polushkin   {K:311} 9/22/2002
Thank, Chris.

Elangovan S: I do not write a history behind of images, because at me bad English. With such English a good history will not write. :)
I have not understood... You are interested with my technologies? Or you ask what drugs I use before it? :)

And what you mean sharing?


Chris Whaley   {K:3844} 9/22/2002
more on the drugs....lol


Elangovan S   {K:10675} 9/22/2002
Drugs, eh? Very nice technique!! :-).

Chris: This approval of my unhealthy way of life? :)


Andrew Polushkin   {K:311} 9/22/2002
Yes, the technology which has been checked up! And in the childhood of me frequently dropped...head downwards on a cement floor :)


Chris Whaley   {K:3844} 9/22/2002
LOL Andrew....i guess we can talk about technique at a later date....once again...great work.

Another Polushkin masterpiece. These pictures are always good to look at. I appreciate all the thought and work that goes into them.
I like your sense of humour too!! Keep taking whatever it is you take!!

Miles: OK, thank :)

This is another one of your works I find really perfect, and amazingly subtle... The first thing that strikes me is the movement down from face top right to bottom left. The eye is inevitably taken down that way. Then only comes the 4th element - the dead bird. If I had to produce something like this - and I truly wish I could ! :-) -, without even thinking, I would have placed the face top left, where the eye would tend to go first... But no... You of course didn't... What we see first is an empty wall, in which there are strange holes. So the eye moves to the next spot
- face right... At that stage, we already feel very uncomfortable because of the way the face itself looks, but then comes the bottle. It looks odd in this context, and we are prepared to almost pass it, but no... here things start to really make sense, and the bottle adds to the discomfort. Why ? Because it is the 3rd time we face the "scream"... After seing the bottle's odd shape, I looked back at the mask, and then the holes in the wall, and it became clear that 2 holes in the wall, the mouth on the face, and the hole in the bottom were echoing each other - like 3 screams and 4 mouths open in despair...:-) The result is at the bottom right, I guess...:-) You have related objects here, and the result is a terribly scary but humorous vision of despair and pain... Your work often reminds me of Jeronimus Bosh - sometimes about Bottero too... Here it rather reminds me of Samuel Beckett's way to write. Your imagery is far beyond photography, and really, it has the greatest effect on my miserable admirative soul...:-))

Андрей , мне тоже интересно - каким образом и откуда рождаются идеи ?аших работ. Каким образом создается комWазиция? как создается финальная работа?
сло?ом - технология и WриYины ?озникно?ения:)

сWасибо, если не секрет:)

Marc Gouguenheim: Thank. You have explained much to me, that I did not understand :) You very well read the image.
