I have been looking through your gallery and notice that you seem to like using human silhouette's in different photo's of your work. Sometimes you use other objects for silhouette's as well, but the human body works very well for you in this type of photo the best. You have a great eye for creating that composition and using contrast within the image.

This is one of the most romantic works I've seen from you yet! Sigpras' got a soft spot! The title really makes this piece - it really gets across the idea that kids playing together is universal and borderless - it kind of puts the political bullshit of us adults' into perspective. It's also kind of ironic that this fort was named Speelwijk (trans. play neighborhood) and now kids really do play there.

leftyehud In reply to sigpras [2005-02-11 18:58:54 +0000 UTC]

speel actually means "play," like what children do, and wijk is a neighborhood. it is pretty funny.

Wow, this is stunning. I really love how the light surrounds the children and the darker part is aboved them, almost like they are creating this light. What are they climbing on? Very cool picture, you don't see many of these anymore, most kids are stuck inside playing computer games.

eggwacker [2005-02-07 17:43:46 +0000 UTC]

This is outstanding, Sigit, and you can feel real validated about it when you have gilad and roy singing high praises Of course, what immediately works for this piece is the structure. By taking the silhouette you esentially force me to focus on the structure, and that's very clever because that's certainly where the focus should go. You know, when I first read your title in my message center, I thought, boy, that's too generic. But now after viewing the piece, I think it's aptly named. The people are so curiously positioned that it is hard to believe. The shape is almost like a miniature house, yet I know it's not. And just so you know, that boy standing at the very top is so incredibly necessary. Without him, the whole piece loses impact for me. You have such an oustanding eye, and such command over the camera. As a beginner with the D70, I hope to learn much from you.
