I don't believe in trusting your belief
I believe in trusting your doubts
After all, I'm just passing through

Tel Aviv sidewalk, Israel
Take time to look at it, full size, before jumping on the "photo manipulation" train... please.

ok ... it's been ages since I did a comment on your magnificant work ...
there is, I belive, one similar shot to this one that you did some time ago ... but anyways ... I simply adore the way you capture reflecions. Being at the reight place at the right time is something that you have proven over and over again.
Regarding this shot .. whole composition, colors and the reflection itself is so amazing !!!

The misty shot builds up a certain tension despite being very visually pleasant. I'm not so sure what does it (perhaps the semi-blurry effect of fog) but it looks great!

donaldsart In reply to gilad [2007-09-29 10:01:51 +0000 UTC]

Why - because this might reveal my fundamental flaws, thereby revealing my true self ?
I see you wish to see though me, thereby gaining insight into who I really am.
I best be careful not to reveal too much - though it might be too late


(I really like this concept)

gilad In reply to donaldsart [2007-09-29 10:07:46 +0000 UTC]

Ohh...
I believe that by believing in your doubts you find your truth. Truth is what drives me, and not tradition.
I am concerned by the thought that what others believe is right, is my truth.. I rather have my doubts
Thank you!

donaldsart In reply to gilad [2007-09-29 10:37:07 +0000 UTC]

I too believe in the search for truth - though I've never quite looked at it from this angle
interesting concept.

But what of the essence of hope or faith ?
This can go beyond ones doubts & beliefs - or others for that matter
This for me defines the human spirit & courage

gilad In reply to donaldsart [2007-09-29 10:39:44 +0000 UTC]

I don't agree. Faith is blindness if you keep your doubts hidden. The greatest believers are the ones that continue to ask questions and challenge their beliefs. Hope is another matter.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

donaldsart In reply to gilad [2007-09-29 11:04:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes of course, but I do think that Faith has its place - though many take it out of context.
There are many angles to seeing one thing right ? which is why I love your photography so much
It is not always the traditional approach

I Hope you understand what I'm saying

מעבר לזה שקודם כל - התמונה נהדרת אין ספק ! אישית, הייתי "חותך" קצת יותר למעלה (או למטה תלוי איך מסתכלים על זה כלומר, לא דווקא לחשוף את הרגליים האמיתיות של הדמות ואת העולם האמיתי כולו, ברגע שאתה מראה גם את הכביש או מדרכה, כשהמים עליהם יש את ההשתקפות נגמרים, אני חושב שכבר אפשר להבין שזאת השתקפות הפוכה, וזה הרבה יותר מעניין, אם לא תגלה ממש ותראה עוד קצת , שזה כאילו להגיד בפירוש "שימו לב.." מצד שני כמובן זאת רק הצעה לבדיקה , בתמונה ספציפית זאת יש כאן את הדלי ההפוך לדוגמא שמוסיף הרבה
אבל אני מדבר בכלליות ולא דווקא על התמונה, אלא יותר על הרעיון שאני חושב שגם ראיתי אצלך בעבר , והוא תמיד נפלא ומבוצע כהלכה
סה"כ יפה מאוד - ע"י המים שיוצרים פילטר מסויים, יצרת פה הרגשה שנורא הולמת את תוכן התמונה, מאוד מתאימה לאישה , הדגל שמתחיל להעלם איכשהוא, אולי מזדקן לו עם האישה,
והכיתוב "ילדותי.." יפה לי זה אומר משהו על נוסטלגיה,על משהו שנעלם ..עולם רפאים שכזה

gilad In reply to nishma [2007-09-29 11:18:11 +0000 UTC]

אני תמיד מסגיר את העובדה שזאת השתקפות בתמונה עצמה. הרמז הופך את הפתרון למרגש.

תודה רבה על התגובה הנהדרת
