About Subject background: You see a dramatic back side portrait of my favorite big brother (well, actually he is my only brother). He's getting older this day, so bro: have a great day =) this one is for you.

PS concept: I tried to fake a Holga. Maybe (or better probably) it's not a "Holga", let's say it's at least an "Olga" =) Out of focus pocus, vignetting, BW conversion, the whole procedure. I know that sign isn't perfect... but hey: this is Holga (my best possible excuse, if you know what I mean). =)

Honest feedback highly appreciated

Oh yes - imagine aday and a night there, i have been so interested and addicted to neon signs (still are) and that place seems to be the neon-sign paradise :) Lovely mood here Thilo!

LG,Ursula

Kevin Collier   {K:19076} 5/4/2005
...great shot - the image without the about seems to be about longing and loneliness - but with the about it's about lil bro following in the footsteps of the older bro to a happy place -- K

from the thumbnail, it looked like a scene from Las Vegas.. love the mood of the image.. It almost has an old Film Noir look to it.. love the holga effect, really adds to the image.. nicely captured.. good work


Carlheinz Bayer   {K:14220} 5/4/2005
Hey Arwa!
Thanks for the song! So nice!!!

George Black   {K:101978} 5/4/2005
The effect is very good--very "Holga." And a very happy birthday . . .

Congratulations,
--George


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 5/4/2005
Hi Ursula,

ja, das ist wirklich etwas viel - vor allem, wenn das wetter so mies bleibt ;-(

aber hoffen wir das beste. beim trempelmarkt regnets sowieso oft, das ist schon fast tradition. werde mich mal mit meiner Holga bewaffnen und lostigern ;-)

vielleicht sieht man sich?

LG,

Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 5/4/2005
hey bro!

well, fortunately my birthday is finished for this year ;-)

T-bro


Omar Rifaat   {K:10135} 5/4/2005
Thilo,
I think this one really epitomises your style-- great shot and great post-processing. The overall effect is really 'wierd' which I know is a compliment for you, and I mean it as such! I like the feeling of sensory overload and the 'lost' silhouette in the foreground.
Nice work & 7!
Omar


Andre Denis   {K:55532} 5/5/2005
Hi Thilo,
Have a good time with the birthday boy!
I was going to ask if you were related, now I know. My brother is on Usefilm too, but in photos only.
Nice moody shot of the fairgrounds at night.
Andre


Kees and Carolyn    {K:15193} 5/5/2005
I love the feel to this! Great lights and mood!
Carolyn


Todd Miller   {K:16461} 5/5/2005
ahhhh, i feel like a fool that i never thought of that before. of course you're brothers, your parents must've had 'the eye' as well. fantastic shot, and the title is wonderful and appropriate. well done my friend.

Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 5/5/2005
Nice message to your bro'.

I think he will be amused.

You have achieved a nice lookalike Holgalike feel :)


NN     {K:26787} 5/6/2005
Very nice angle, with your brother watching the incredible "temptations" in front of him on his birthday. Great & original shot and a lovely dedication :)


Ahmet Baki Kocaballi   {K:13627} 5/6/2005
Hi Thilo,
very nice back side portrait :)
like the back ground..


Mark Beltran   {K:32612} 5/8/2005
This is very much a Holga, but purists will differ. Holga is a state of mind as well, and this is what it is. Well done, Thilo.


K P   {K:3499} 5/8/2005
Perfect work Thilo! Like it very much cant find a thing wrong here!

Regards
Karel


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 5/13/2005
Hi Mark,

thanks for the honest words.

I will keep that in mind and will probably do that "holgarization" not too often =)

Thilo
