About Another one through the rear door's window. The whole scene was reminding me of some kind of hidden world that works without being even noticed down there in the catacombs. A bit claustrophobic and so I focused far in order to enhance the fact that even breaking down the red door wouldn't bring that much, since the next closed cage was awaiting.

Any comments would be very welcome.

Forgot to mention again that the impressions about "Morning behind glass" were (and still are) a big surprise to me. And a very welcome one!

Yes, and I am glad that you see these images the same way that I intended them to look like, Andre. Much of that kind of being "caged" goes in many of them, I guess.

Many thanks for your nice comment!

Well, Shyamal, any kind of serious look to a picture, be it for its aesthetical, cultural, or any other side, does have its own value, as it reveals something about the picture that could be lost otherwise.

And sometimes the revealed "anti-aesthetics" can be a hint towards a content that has to say something about such things like for example industrialisation etc. It often produces some other kind of aesthetics and inasmuch it is good for escaping the usual aesthetics cage.

Many images that deal with rather unpleasant things do introduce a kind of differnt beauty, and after such in introduction many things that were considered only as "ugly" are seen with a different eye. So for example, as Andre Denis has said, even an old dirty street might have its own beauty but one that isn't based on pure "good looks".

I find your comment very interesting since it makes clear that the interesting doesn't have to be aesthetical in the traditional sense. It is rather how we depict something but not necessarily what we depict. Of course that "how" implies also work that can get much harder than when simply depicting something that is in general considered to be "beautiful" by itself, like a flower or something similar. For me the work that is connected with the whole process of shooting an image gives the image its own kind of aesthetics, since it introduces a rather mental component - as it does in all arts. I think that this has to do with the cultural element about which you talked.

Thank you very much for your reply that generated so much thinking in my mind.

Best wishes,

Nick

Hi Nick,
I see you even used the same work as I did on this one "claustrophobic" This is exactly the kind of feeling we get from this one. Almost the opposit effect to "Morning Behind Glass"

I mean 'hardness', not 'harness' in the above comment.

Nick,

I understand completely, and I agree there is a difference between creating an image for its aesthetic value ("nice") and its, let's say cultural value. I was purely looking at the aesthetics, and completely overlooking the cultural value of this image.

Beyond aesthetics, this image makes me feel tense, like I am stuck in a traffic jam after a long day at work, and that maybe only because of your comments on the "industrialization of lives on the run". There is lots of 'harness' in this image, from the steel tracks, the train, the concrete platform; in fact, I don't think there is anything soft at all here, and that leads right in to your industrialization.

Anyway, I do like this series of yours, good job on them.

Hi Shyamal and thanks again very much for the detailed comment and the open mind.

In your point of view, perhaps expecting a "nice" image, the lights are indeed distracting. Any serious composition with the intention to deliver an image that is somehow attractive should care about lowering their importance, or perhaps not including them at all.

My intention was not to have a "nice" image, though. Most of this series was intended to just display or deal with the rather strong industrialisation of lives on the run. So for my taste distractions should be there as the whole atmosphere, the mood itself, the views and the flasing sights on the run, all that happens in places that are distracting themselves, or that look distracting because of lacking time to really perceive something in a pleasant way.

You know, what can be "nice" when one is on the run from 4:00 until 0:00?

But still, many many thanks for yet another view. It is always interesting to know how somebody else receives the image.

Best wishes,

Nick

After seeing your image "Through the catacombs", it is difficult for me to see a still capture like this! I find the two lights slightly distracting, but I do like the red/blue in the image.
