interiors

Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 6 August 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

I often wonder what really goes on in other peoples lives. How much is shown to the outside world, and what is kept inside. Do they wear their smiles on the inside as well as the outside?

A fantastic abstract composition, the lines on the wall and in the reflection are brilliant Bluechameleon, lovely crisp shilouettes, a great image!

My first thought 'Good Night, and Good Luck' Clooney`s movie... Great cinematic image, Sharon.

An interesting interpretation, great use of contrast to spin a tale.

Incredible. As someone already said, you're developing a great and keen eye for B&W shots.

Quite a lot of your photos are about the inside indeed. The inside of people rather than the inside of peoples lives. In here you are asking what happens behind the curtain of the stage of life.

Question maybe without answer! Again, magnificent photographic realization.

A poignant meditation on human identity and relationship.

"You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world,
that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature,
but perhaps this very holding back
is the one suffering you could avoid".

- Franz Kafka

I love this picture. First of all, a graphic approach very well rendered. Them a breaking pattern theme, two human subjects that also turn out beeing silhouettes. Very well thought. And lastly, the strongest low key B&W treatment : a hell lot of black, a pinch of white and no gray worth mentioning. That's a thing I like, and I'd also like to see you try the opposite [i.e. High Key total contrast B&W]. Awesome.

just brilliant BC! really and truly faaabulous!! so graphic and so intimate... love the 'dazed' expression on the figure on the couch -- it echoes your description wonderfully! and what a philosophical question you ask!! i believe the sum of my experiences to date have answered that question very nicely for me... its what keeps me traveling -- to find the apex of the human spirit! i think this for many reasons is my favorite pic of all from your magical and masterfully emotive portfolio that i have seen! true brilliance here on a multitude of levels...!!! and those shadows!!! BRAVO BC!!!

I keep coming back to this image and loving it more and more every time I look at it. I think that pretty much all of us would like to know what is there on the inside. It explains people`s obsession with celebrity. Some of us hope that the smile is on the inside as well as it is on the outside, and some.. well , would be very pleased and comforted by discovering misery. And I regret to say that the larger amount then we would like would fall into the second category. When the happiness is true and obvious somehow it makes many others angry and desolated. I wish this topic could bring brighter thoughts... but, C`est la vie.
