Description Everytime he comes back from work, he stops in his favourite park. Sometimes, he loses track of time while watching the lake, the trees and children playing. He knows there are things that you cannot forget, no matter how hard you try. "I don't want to go home now, I don't want to hear her scream again. What have I done? All those sacrifices, all these years and for what?"

I love this! I was looking for something like this to edit so it would match a book story I have to make a cover for, for literature. I was wondering if I could use this? I will of course give credit to you on the inside part of my book, it's just a school project everyone had to do with the same story. I would have to edit the background picture in order for it to look like a painting/inked. I need this for tomorrow.

Asta e tristă rău, poziția corpului îmi dă impresia că se gândea la cum ar arată un ștreang pe crengile copacului.

E si asta o interpretare. Oricum, in definitiv, sa stii ca toate sunt triste

da, multe din cele pe care le vedem pe stradă sunt triste. și mă gândesc ce s-ar întâmpla dacă nu am trece cu atâta indiferență pe lângă ele.

nici nu ar trebui să învățam cum, ar trebui să facem exact invers.

uneori povara sentimentelor celor din jur (pfu,ce exprimare) e greu de dus dar ai dreptate. is prea multe lucruri pe lumea asta care incearca sa ne indeparteze de noi insine,de la cine si ceea ce suntem cu adevarat.

I like the composition of this picture. It seems very balanced to me and the story you have written with it really amplifies the impact of the piece. I like it

The pic is OK, but, maybe, you should have taken the shot a little more to the right, to have a better feeling of the man's point of view.

Anyway, it's good. Keep it on!

almost every situation, when not build, is a matter of seconds. i'm glad you did take the picture and published that what you've managed to capture. it's a beatiful moment (with the text)

(i'm using my hands a lot when i ever try to explain anything, -and in english! f*ck my arms are tired-)

thank you for thanking me or something something, or if you did'nt thank, then just thank you. or something something..
i start to prepare myself for thy next one.

the story backups the picture very well. the picture itself -without the words- is not that great. the idea is. but there's too much distractive things in the picture to work on its owm..

thanks for your honest comment.indeed,the photo is suposed to work together with the words because otherwise the story "behind" the photo would not be seen.I am curious though,what are the elements that you find distracting in this photo?

toistaitoinen In reply to LuciaConstantin [2010-02-02 21:02:50 +0000 UTC]

trees and the lack of the view the man is looking at.
2-3 meters to right and the man would have been standing neat and nice between the trees.
and when reading the text you get a certain image of the view he's looking at, and then when you look again the picture you're kind of disappointed when it's not really there.

"the story behind the photo" is a good idea, and in that context those two work well together, but i suggest that you'd start of the photo.. you know, a great picture with a few word to make it excellent. not 'so and so' photo and then try to save it with a nice story.

"couple of nice words in the fear that i maybe insulted you, which i didn't, but still got a little fear.."

1. it was a matter of a second. it was then or never. it might be just an escuse but ..I just didn't have the opportunity to "place" the man between the trees and I am not sure if I should've anyway. 2-3 meters to the right and the moment would've been gone.sometimes,you just have to seize the moment.
2. yes, you cannot see what he is looking at. the text, the story, is just a little part of what it may be. you can consider that he is looking at that light and that the light represents all those things he misses,used to love and to have in the past. maybe I wrote about children and lakes but...you,as a viewer,can imagine he is looking at anything else. you,as as a viewer,can thinkg about your own life and realise what it is that you're missing.
3.I never did that, try to "rise" the quality of a photo with using text.if I had the impression that a certain piece of mine sucked or lacked any substance,I wouldn't post it anywhere.the text is only...something that comes to complete the photo(sometimes,it's not needed). in this case, the actual text is indispensable. the truth is that ..when I saw this man I just thought about a story and what he thinks and feels and wondered why..is he standing there looking and what is his story and of course, because I couldn't ask him,I've invented one. I often feel the sadness from strangers,it just gets to me ,it's not a thing I desire it just..happens.

don't be afraid to speak your mind. you've surely got my full respect for that! :}
