rem_la from Villiers, Francec'est celle la que je prefere, le traitement est vraiment superbe ! 2 Dec 2008 5:14am mo.langel from Courtelary, SwitzerlandUn très beau monochrome qui convient superbement à cette image! 2 Dec 2008 6:52am Vink from Grasse - French riviera, FranceVoilà donc leur visage à ces deux compères d'infortune ou de beuverie ! Un cigarette avant le grand départ ; on a l'impression qu'ils rechargent les batteries avant de revenir dans le monde dit "civilisé". 2 Dec 2008 7:58am Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaI like the gritty feel and light in this fine street image. 2 Dec 2008 9:41am @sorter: You mean, the treatment ? Because I love pictures that make me fly back in a time frame I can dream about... Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, Francevoilà nos deux compères réveillés ! une petite cigarette avant de reprendre la route ! quel reportage tu nous a fait là Karine ! vraiment superbe ! et j'aime bien aussi ton traitement d'image, très particulier, qui fait ressortir le dramatique de la situation, et la rend intemporelle. 2 Dec 2008 10:41am @Anna.C: Voilà, tu as lâché le mot qui est mon credo préféré : intemporel, c'est exactement ce qui m'intéresse. Merci & kiss-kiss, Anna Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaTes photos me coupent le souffle, ces messieurs, ils savaient que tu prenais leur photo? ou as-tu un excellent zoom...bravo a nouveau ma petite k, superbe! Tu sais tu peux afficher ta photo sur la page 'About' et comme ça on peut te voir lol 2 Dec 2008 10:50am @Lorraine: Je crois qu'il y a ma trombine sur la page About - mais pas sûre que ça ait marché (j'ai un nom de doc différent que celui que j'ai affiché - mais aucune importance :) Pour te répondre : ils étaient de l'autre côté de la rue, ne m'ont pas vue - même si j'ai des clichés où ils lèvent les yeux - et effectivement un zoom x 10, seul vrai avantage de mon Compact Lumix - en attendant de passer au Reflex... Bisous* Lorraine from Gatineau, Canadarapide comme l'éclair ma chouette, je me suis aperçu de mon erreur trop tard ;) tu es très belle et jeune...awww 2 Dec 2008 11:04am @Lorraine: ... Comme quoi les photos, même prises la veille, sont de bonnes vieilles menteuses ! "Jeune", mhh... 44 au compteur in a couple of months - je te remercie de me permettre d'étaler ainsi mes années :( ..... :)) Mais l'âge, c'est bien connu, c'est dans la tête (et alors là, vois-tu, tu peux cocher entre 7 et 10... enfin, les bons jours !) Bonjour* (au fait, très bien ta photo/About ! Fin des auto-congratulations sur trombinoscope et de la séquence, Elles font leurs filles......) Francesc B. from région parisienne, Franceça y est, ils émergent... un portrait vraiment réussi...très belle série. 2 Dec 2008 11:14am FLOOG from United KingdomFor me, your processing here and presentation is absolutely first class, the image has a timeless feeling, which really shines with this composition. Somehow, they do not feel as vulnerable here as in the previous images, but it still works superbly in my opinion 2 Dec 2008 11:31am @FLOOG: Yes - EXACTLY what I felt , and I'm happy you point it out : they didn't look like street guyz, actually, did they ? - their clothes, suitcase and all... Stunned me... Thanks for your words* Marcah from Quincy, United StatesThe story is still unfolding. This has been such an interesting event and expressed so well by YOU !!! Nice work. 2 Dec 2008 1:35pm @Marcah: Ooo, thanx - The same about U'r work*** - oh yes ! JJ from Jersey City, United StatesThey finally awaken, I too like the way you have processed this, giving a wonderful gritty and timeless feel 2 Dec 2008 1:37pm Laurie from New Jersey, United StatesIt is a very interesting and rather sad series. Very compelling and well done. 2 Dec 2008 2:45pm Nico from Bordeaux, FranceJolie évolution de ces deux personnes. super tes N/B. j'adore. 2 Dec 2008 3:56pm don from spokane, United StatesThis is a fine continuation of your series on these fellows. It would be interesting to know the story of these 2 Dec 2008 5:25pm Luis A. De Jesus R. from Mexico City, MexicoThese are the guys from a previous photo. This illustrates what photographers like Winogrand held about their photos: simple witness accounts of time and space. People always end up attaching meaning depending on their world outlook and mental schemas about how things, moments, and people play out. By the way: NICE CATCH! 2 Dec 2008 5:36pm Noah from Dunedin, New Zealandwonderful series, i've always been a fan of storytelling and this does the trick for me. Two very interesting characters, would have been interesting to hear their story. 2 Dec 2008 6:21pm Kaddy from Mumbai, Indiavery nice effect you have achieved here!!! Congratulations!!! 2 Dec 2008 6:40pm Richard_Irwin from Belper, United KingdomAn interesting shot, both tonally, and the subject matter, nice work. 2 Dec 2008 11:22pm 613photo from Dallas, United StatesThis was quite a series. I'm really impressed. The only thing about it is that I think they really do stand together as one work if you were to hang them in a gallery or whatever, and so I think they should all get the same post-processing treatment. I actually like how this photo was done and wouldn't mind seeing the others that way, too. Very good job. 2 Dec 2008 11:49pm @613photo: I DO agree about that question of post-processing and actually I'll use this one that I prefer too ! But presenting some of the pics of my serie to you, day after day, I liked the idea of a progression here. But for an exhibition (I'd love that) or a book, you got what I desire to do ! Thanks for your words I share totally. See ya*** kgreenstien from paris, Franceyour shots are brilliant, im really impressed. furthermore, you really captured something in paris that makes its mark on me far more than the louvre and eiffel tower. 3 Dec 2008 12:04am zaki from singapore, SingaporeI wish my country have this kind of place so that I can shoot a picture and tell a story for you 3 Dec 2008 12:33am @zaki: Not that bad i you can't picture that kind of sad pix ? But thanks a lot for wanting to offer a serie back ! That's so kind... See ya* Sean from Champaign, United StatesInteresting series. Was it all an act to see how the people around them would react? Great composition and processing. 3 Dec 2008 4:18am @Sean: It was first of all because it overwhelmed me to see them in that first position on the floor. After that, I stayed stuck to them and how people look or not look at them. See ya and thanks* thierry from conde sur noireau, Franceun TRES grand n&b, le sujet, le cadrage et le traitement, tout est superbe 3 Dec 2008 7:20am mfehret from FranceRien à ajouter aux précédents commentaires, sinon que moi aussi je te tire mon chapeau. Tu te sers très bien de ton reflex, et aussi du support blog qui crée un genre nouveau, la photo récit feuilleton! 3 Dec 2008 8:23am @mfehret: No, I haven't a reflex yet ! Just a lil' compact Lumix :) En attendant l'achat d'un Nikon peut-être ? Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesFantastic shot and color. That looks like me on weekend! 3 Dec 2008 5:54pm Cstef. from Lorient, FranceJ'adore ! 3 Dec 2008 6:09pm Turnbill from Maine, United StatesWow! As others have said an amazing series! The gritty processing is perfect - like a scene from the movie Midnight Cowboy. What can their story be? Two brothers, recently immigrated, and no place to stay? 4 Dec 2008 4:21pm Miles Wolstenholme from Okehampton, United KingdomI just love the processing on your images; really well handled. 4 Dec 2008 5:36pm lô from verdun, FranceDans cette attitude, la photo me parle autrement. Je sens moins de détresse , je la sens plusn profonde. 4 Dec 2008 7:47pm Hikari from Kumamoto, JapanI don´t care about the processing but this serie is fantastic! , they looked so fragile and sweet on the other photos ! 5 Dec 2008 8:50am flo g from Marseille, Francec'est marrant, j'éprouve une sorte de soulagement à les voir se griller une petite clope, tranquillement.. bravo pour cette série, sorte de mini film ;) 5 Dec 2008 1:06pm Fishit from Tealtown, United StatesI like the tones and the crop, quite a nice work of art. 6 Dec 2008 11:49pm Nataly from Santa Monica, United StatesSuperb series! Great story! I would say "Great capture" but... I would choose "great find"! If you don`t mind me asking... how much time did you spend waiting for them to get up? 11 Dec 2008 10:55pm @Nataly: To answer your question, actually they stay a few hours and I missed their departure ;-) I took all the pics very quickly (as soon as I noticed them - I took more than shown here) and I took the one of the door the day after, to say Bye... See you* and thanks for asking... Cuentos from SpainGreat capture. I like very much your work. Saludos, Thanks. 17 Dec 2008 5:34pm Ivan O. from Singapore, SingaporeWow! This whole series is great! I love this one the most! 14 Jan 2009 6:45pm MARIANA from waterloo, CanadaAnother wonderful moment from this series . You waited for their faces, and you got them . Excellent ! 8 Jul 2009 2:58am @MARIANA: I think they were from the East, heard a few words I did not understand when I left for some groceries and did not want to disturb them. When i was back, they had already vanished. Maybe they were drunkards, maybe they were just lost with no roof, we can imagine everything and it's what we all love with photos, don't we ? They also gave me the feeling of old photos' misery like the ones of my favorite Dorothea Lange, but it's today, here and now, and seems the indifference didn't evolve. Just like us ? |
