About I was not very successful in capturing this scene... both lighting and
cropping could be better, I know.

I decided to upload it, even so, to illustrate the unequal conditions
between white and black men in my country.

The scene I posted yesterday could be an European scene...

Now, a real Brazilian scene: barefoot man and son. His red eyes could be
caused by alcohol or just sadness... I don't know...

He seemed to be so far away... not paying any attention to his son's play,
nor noticing me.

Taken in Villa Lobos Park, as previous one. No tripod, of course.


"Sunday in the park" is the name of a Gilberto Gil song ("Domingo no
Parque"). Gil is now the Minister of Culture of Brazil. To know more about
Gil's work, see: www.gilbertogil.com.br

This series is dedicated to him, for his fantastic work as a poet, singer
and composer.

Thank you for commenting on it.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ANGELO!

I'm glad to see some social commentary in the photos at this site. Nice job!

CArmen: me parece una excelente fotografia muy bien lograda, el manejo de luces y sombras es muy bueno. felicitaciones querida amiga.
PD: sobre esa triste realidad, es la que se vive tanto en paises como los nuestros como en los mas "desarrollados", eso es lamentablemente lo que hace el uso excesivo de alcohol y drogas, el resultado es desastroso.
Recibe un fuerte abrazo de Bety y mio

Excelente registro e protesto!!!!Certo domingo fui numa cidade-satélite,daqui de Brasília e o que me chamou mais atenção foi a quantidade de pipas no céu.Refleti na hora"Caramba a galera não tem lazer nenhum....".Nada nem quadra de esportes,praças ou parque para seu lazer.A unica alternativa era soltar pipa e ainda por cima com serol.....Se você quer lazer tem que pagar,o mundinho "escroto"(desculpe).Bem se vc tiver tempo aqui em Brasília eu recomendo dar uma passada de uns quatro dias no parque nacional Chapada dos Veadeiros.Essa é a melhor epoca para ir......

Hi Carmem
Nice shot and another very sad story.
Not sure if the attached is much help but I have tweaked it in Photoshop.

Bonita foto com boa luz. Até os tons meio escuros combina com a clima da foto. Muito bom o contraste entre o pai e filho.

Thanks for welcoming me back, still sorting through Canada/Alaska shots hope to find some reasonable ones.
This image is very good, and is a good illustration, you have captured the scene very well. I have twiddled with it, very quickly, hope you don't mind. But it is such a good photo, see what you think
Margaret

Cheers, Margaret!

Chris Hunter   {K:25631} 6/22/2004
Excellent Carmem, the saturation and dark tones work well with this image. Although the highlights are a little overexposed, I think it works perfectly with this image, and gives the father a unique quality. Nice work,

Chris

Carmem,

I am going to reply in English this time, as your description is also in English. Hope you don't mind. Since there is a social comentary here, I will try to chip in on that, too.

I like the photo: man and son enjoying each other's company on a sunny Sunday morning. The kid is happy and comfortable. His daddy is with him. To me, it looks like they are both "daydreaming together".

Their connection works as they are both sitting on the bench, they are facing the same way, just relaxing.

This photo could in fact have been taken in Europe, or in the US. It is almos placeless. (In fact, the man's hat is advert for a US movie, "T2", with Arnie Schwarzenegger, another "benefit" of globalization)

The man's clothes are clean, his moustache is well groomed, his son is well-clothed.

There may have been something at the time that indicated his sadness. (I don't see it in his face) Or his drunkenness. But I cannot see it in the photo. He may just be tired from a whole week of long hard work. We don't know... Yet he is taking time to be with his son.

So I guess that's it, I just get a different feeling from this excellent photo than the one you gave.

That's the peculiar power of photographs. There may have been something that happened just before, or just after, that reinforces your perspective. There may have been a smell of alcohol in the air. But without the smell, the noise, in the absence of other inputs, I just get a cosy "father and son" feeling from this.

I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Kind regards,
Angelo.

Fantastic capture. Superb colour and sharpness. His eyes are sad I think. You have captured lost in thought as his son plays totally unaware of the troubles that appear to be in his father's eyes. Very emotional shot Carmem.


Pedro Libório   {K:53861} 6/23/2004
tive oportunidade de assistir a algumas destas cenas ao vivo aí no Brasil...é um país cheio de contraste de facto...mas também vi muito cara como este aqui com uma cara de felicidade...vivendo bem a vi..com o "pouco material" que tem ...
mas achei interessante estas suas mostras de realidades diferentes...
beijinhos


Murilo Rafael de Souza   {K:19577} 6/23/2004
Oi Carmem!
Interessante este seu lado social para fotografia, mas... apesar de ser um tema interessante e apesar de ser uma boa foto, eu sou partidário do Didonet!
Particularmente o tema não me agrada, principalmente depois de uma "Central do Brasil" onde nossa pobreza foi explorada e exposta ao máximo (isto é, já saturou, e nada melhorou)! Mas claro, este é o "meu ponto de vista".
Mesmo assim, parabéns pela foto, sem dúvida foi um bom momento!

Abraços...

[] Murilo

Hi!...Carmem: Excellent Social Photograph!...Nicely produced Picture!...I agree Must with Angelo's Comment!

Jeff.


Jorge Vasconcelos   {K:33746} 6/23/2004
I see nothing wrong in this street picture.In my mind, a street picture could not be, must not be perfect.Perfect is against of the good.A studio photo must be perfect.But in the street, situation, mood,climate is what matters and all is there.Keep going, Carmem.
Regards
jorge

Excellent shot! It seemed that both the child and man are thinking of something different. Cheers Carmem for such a lovely shot.
