About Silence, Emptiness, And Confusion
by Bek

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A teenager is stricken and destroyed

There is no sound of laughter or happiness here
The little one has thrown in the towel today
Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray

Emptiness builds a home in this woman
In this girl, this child where hollows have bred
A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes
And eats away at every connecting thread

Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone, exiled, different and disdained.

I found this poem on the net:
http://www.netpoets.com/poems/depress/0985001.htm
and I found it sad, and even hard. I try to find a view with the same feeling but more positive, and the sea seems to me the ideal subject.
Deauville, December 2004

Nice simple composition and works well in this tone. Nice capture.


Alastair Bell   {K:29571} 1/10/2005
Bonjour mon ami! Cette image est très puissante et évoque un vrai sentiment d'emptiness isolé. Je pense que c'est le plus bien que j'ai vu ce soir. Magnifique mon ami... magnifique! (Mais Decembre 2005? Tu es très intelligent en effet!)


Alper Tecer   {K:7002} 1/10/2005
Impressive shot. The tonal range is great and preffered towards dark side. The contrast is just perfect for the effect.
regards.


Rebecca Raybon   {K:26655} 1/10/2005
Very befitting for the poem. Very moody. Well done, Fabrice.


P. Christine Skinner   {K:27338} 1/10/2005
Extremely tactile image Fabrice and the words are very apropos. Superb tones. I have read the words a few times and I don't thik you could have chosen a better photograph. Well done.

Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 1/10/2005
Heheh Luis, celui-ci à l'origine etait en anglais, et j'ai eu peur que la traduction ne détruise le sentiment que voulais faire passer l'auteur.
Merci Luis

Christian Barrette   {K:21125} 1/11/2005
Bonsoir mon ami.
De retour des vacances d'hiver. Le plaisir de retrouver vos chroniques en images. C'est aussi agréable que les pages de Philippe Delerm qui éclairent mes passages quotidiens en métro.
Ici, belle collision entre la verticale et l'horizontale.
L'oiseau (?) en vol au-dessus de la mer pourrait ressembler à une poussière. Aussi bien l'enlever ?


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 1/11/2005
Bonjour Christian, quelle joie de vous revoir..et de vous lire! Cela me fait réellement plaisir. Vos commentaires commençaient à me manquer (comment forcer la main hehehhehe), non très sincérement, cela me manquait. Quel coup d'oeil!! Je n'y avais pas pris garde!! Et vous avez tout à fait raison.
Merci Christian
Fabrice


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 1/11/2005

Ian McIntosh   {K:38714} 1/11/2005
Fabrice my experience is those who have survived solitude return to the world with much character as this pile shows, and truths that we are afraid to know.
Thanks for sharing.


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 1/11/2005
Thank you for sharing your experience Ian...
Regards
Fabrice


emily savva   {K:21113} 1/11/2005
cher Fabrice...
le texte qui égale ton image est très triste et bien que tu essai de remonter l'humeur (je ne suis pas sure pour cette mot) du spectateur, l'isolement caché et l'intense sent de solitude reste présente? la composition pas-centrée et la gamme tonale riche augmente cette humeur?
comme un âme sur la plage faisant face à l'infinité par les yeux tristes... une photographie exceptionnelle? mes félicitations mon ami? Emily


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 1/11/2005
Chère Emily, très belle analyse avec des phrases d'une réelle profondeur, preuve ta sensibilité..Merci beaucoup
A bientot Emily, c'est un plaisir de partager avec des photographes comme toi qui sentent les choses..
Fabrice
