Description
Catching my breath,
Enough with the running
This city has boxed me in
Giving me the illusion of freedom

I've been running for days
Escaping the walls of my sanity
The city wants me to call it a home
Giving me the illusion of freedom

I look at the clouds forming above
Little power lines cross my mind
Trees are reaching out from the pavement
Giving me the illusion of freedom

All the cars, shops, buildings, crowd
Can't all of us open our eyes and see?
We are all boxed in this city
And we can't break free

This is my first submittion with my new camera. The Canon 5D. I'm really exited about it, and I think it will be a love story. I will still keep using my Nikon D70 for Infra Red shots, and for a back up camera, but The "Full frame" monster is something I'be been planning on for a long time, and I finally did it.

Canon 5D
Canon 17-40 lens
Tel Aviv, Israel.

Just had to favourite this one. After over 450 comments I guess it gets pretty dull to read them. Great shot!

Ok, usually I don't comment on pictures, just put them to favourities. This time I have to. I have been watching your development for a while now, and each time they have been something special.

You are one of the greatest photographers in whole dA. Keep on the stunning work.

LetsMakeArt [2007-01-08 11:12:39 +0000 UTC]

It's a great photo but do people like you think before you whore your shit out on a print account?

Why on earth would someone want such a great complex photo on a damn fridge magnet.

Are you that desperate for some sucker being silly enough to give you one measely dollar that you'd go ahead and stick your photo on any piece of crap you can find regardless of the medium, that you wouldn't give a damn how your work looked at all?

Have some damn pride and pay a little attention to these things if you want to make a buck out of people, come on!

The angle of this shot is what makes it so interesting. For a while I wasn't sure which side was the water reflection!

work of a genius! Truely.

it's one of those works that i have to think twice about before faving them. Not because i have any doubt about whether i want to fav it but because i fear it might be disrespectful if a newbie like me adds it to his fav gallery.

faving it and setting it as a benchmark for myself.
