Description I went on a trip to the moon,
to realize my dreams.

I followed the light,
Walking and driving all night.

The night was ending,
And the moon was fading.

I stopped and stared at my dream,
Evaporate into the beginning of tomorrow

I wish the moon was a little closer,
Just one night away.

But I guess my dreams are not real,
If it takes me only one night to achieve

I turned back,
Half way to the moon
Half way back to where i started,
Where the night began.




That's very little darkroom, but still... Two photos, blended together.
One of the banana moon, and the second of the kid staring at what was the setting sun.
I had a vision of him staring at the moon, and i made in come true in "Darkroom".
The shot was taken in the Jewish holiday of "Yom Kipur", that is actully a fast.
The streest are empty from cars, and only kids on bicycles roam the streets, to enjoy the empty roads.
I hope you can feel what i was going for.

Very amazing as always friend. The emotions expressed are incredible. Very nice blending of images, I know you don't do that all that much as you like to take most things as they are. Great work.

Best, C

You're right.
But i have special appeal for the moon i guess.
The original sun was not as expressive, as the moon.
Thank you C G

I like the shine on the road. is that from the sun or manipulation?

gilad In reply to sightless-jac [2005-06-06 04:28:32 +0000 UTC]

The sun.
There is no manipulation other than putting the two pictures together.
