About She smiled at me, the invisible photographer, who took too long to focus. There was actually no smile left then, only a forced, fatuous grimace, as if she was looking straight through me. As if she opened a void into which I was already vanished.
Finally, we were none.

Un gioco di ombre e luci molto particolare.
Sembrano tante anime che si muovono per la città. Anime che ti passano vicino o che ti possono trapassare senza che te ne accorga e che vagano senza una meta precisa.
...o forse eri tu l'anima vagante.

Ciao

Photography exists just to prove that some people, somewhere, sometime lived through our pictures.And then...nothing but a memory. And then, we were none, nothing but a memory inside someone else's mind. Or a photographic subject. Or a smile that reminds that once we were happy. And alive. And then we reborn to prove that the prophecy was right. Earth is a lovely prison.

Very impressive street shot, and extremely effective with the about section. Great job Aira...

your Cuban pics are getting out the traditional way and very impressive, Sunrise.
I like them very much !


Marília Ferraz   {K:-4496} 9/26/2004
Well, it all depends Aira.
Maybe, finally we were none.
But most certainly you are the one!
Outstanding mood in this unique street moment.
Hugs,
Marília

This is stunning.


emily savva   {K:21113} 9/27/2004
a unique style image once again... with this special dream quality of yours.. poetry and life blended and can?t tell the difference anymore between them... it wouldn?t have been complete without the "about"... i am as eager to read it as much as i am to see the photo... like feelings come first and then the image brings them into forms... wonderful work... emy

Imagine un po' inquietante per i toni scuri, ma alla fine della strada c'e' la luce che trionfa!

Marzia C.   {K:3298} 10/1/2004
E' bellissima! Mi piace molto l'atmosfera particolare che è su tutte le tue foto...


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185017} 10/1/2004
Hi Aira, Now I see what you mean when you said that you are very fond of a soft focus...:) I think its much more appropriate in this shot, than it was in mine (as I replied, that was not intentional) The softness adds alot to the image in this photo, making it very strong, but somewhat grim and ominous.

If I look very closely, I can detect some scanning lines too. Not as bad as in my original, but in removing the scan line, I had to make a concession to the sharpness, which was already pretty poor...

Very intriguing portfolio you have. Impressive work.

Cheers,

Hugo

Bella questa... come molte altre tra le tue; complimenti.

Conosci i Mùm o il titolo è casuale?

Grazie per il commento alla mia foto e buon anno!
