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.

I used to work in "Beit Keshet", so i know the area
I guess you feel the difference of Yom Kipur mainly in the big cities.
Thank you

Cool that's like 2 minutes from where I live!
Yea, I guess so, I mean I live in a religeous moshav (I'm not religeous) but I still hear the cars on the main street from my room on yom kipur, pretty normal traffic, I guess the big citys have empty streets because they're all coming over here to the north for the day

When you took that shot, did you want to be that kid? Did you use to roam the streets as a kid? For some reason, I could imagine this picture paired up with the same scenario, but with an old man with the bike. heh.ive just got too much imagination that it starts to bleed out!

It is beautiful... Oooh, last Yom Kippur, although I'm not a Jew, I did fast, with a couple of slips, but I managed to keep to the full fast.

As usual, stunning work Gilad..
I can feel it.
I wonder how you're able to photograph so much and so well and keep up with comments here.

I am far behind on the comments.
I would love to re-comment much more, but it's too much.
I try to answer questions, or special comments.
