Description ...sedation...

Switzerland // Hoengg // 21.9.2003

Another IR-photo from the "Regenerate" series I took at my local chillout spot last September. After looking trough the archives I found this one and thought it was worth submitting.
For technical and general informations about this piece/place check out regenerate and regenerate II

Sedation

Sometimes it takes time to recognize the aesthetic aspect of life. Stop
dead in your tracks and breathe in deep. A leaf waving invitingly in the
warm summer draft. Come on friend, rest some after an exhausting day,
taste the sweet relief. Put aside your worries, charge on nature.
Regenerate yourself. Thatβ€šs what I think.

Sometimes it takes time to accept the aesthetic aspect of life. Sit
down, light up and hang out for a while. I know, it's hard to take all
too often. The crystal clear sky so overwhelming, so overpowering. The
magnificence of the world around you turning into a painting by Dali.
Complete with dripping clocks with the seconds dancing by. The smell of
upcoming rain.

Sometimes it takes time to remember the aesthetic aspect of life. It's
minutes like these that make life worth living - maybe it's just an
enchantment of everyday routine. Yet still, through its beauty in
untouchable form, it cramps my style. Its apparent bliss makes me nervous.
We can't stop the wheels from turning and maybe, I think with a smile on
my face, maybe that's the great thing about it. Minutes, hours, weeks -
all moving into the perpetual. Perhaps the point is just to sit here and
think about it.

Surreal lighting...it gives the edges of the leave an unnatural property and the air a sort of ethereal thickness...

Wow! The first thing that struck me was the composition. It's so perfect. The guy on the bench looks so small and alone with that big tree next to him. I love the way that the bench and tree etc are on the outside of the picture and the centre of it is purely sky. It looks awesome. I wanted to say that the guy's expression was awesome too but you can't really see it so I'll say the pose is excellent instead. Also, the choice of colours on this gives it a kind of cold, alone feeling to compliment the guy on the bench to perfection.

Your work never fails to amaze me. You are pure genius and this is a definite for me. It's a shame you can't a picture more than once because this is so much better than most pieces I favourite. It's worthy of two or three fav's at least. Truely mindblowing!

The leaves look magical, and the tone is lovely.
I love how solid the sky is.
I like the feet on the ground. My eyes are drawn to the place where the feet meet the ground.

This place is beautiful.
The accompanying words are as well.
