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 wrote it in my note. It's actually the sunset that spreads that light.
Thank you.

This photo was my morning coffee. It woke me up instantly. I would like to see this one on the wall of a dark room with just one spot light illuminating the photography.
Great work...

If you mean, do i work as a photographer, the answer is yes and no.
It's not my "day job", but i hope it will be soon.
I do photography for a living, but as part time.
I'm only a beginner

You know what.. you don't know how close you are...
The other shot you mentioned was shot on the same day, and on the same road...
Well done!

I was left in awe with this piece (as I am with most of your work). Excelent darkroom work. I couldn't even tell it used to be two seprate pictures. Makes me wish I had a darkroom again.

wow.. absolutely stunning the most striking thing I think other than the subject in general is the lighting.. followed closely by the composition which is excellent.
