hahahaha... yeah, I know there's no better argument for such cases, only he happen to be a friend and i wouldn't want to hear him:
'Mr. Stagger Lee has mercy on me!!' ;)
...
unnfortunately true, i shall probably not tell you about another friend of mine, who's got three Leica, each better than the other and covering dust!!
i shall say no more :)
ok see you later,

A Mamiya medium format! And he didin't use it anymore? And he wouldn't give it or sell it to you for a little money??? Perhaps some convincing arguments could help him decide so - a gun? ;-)
I know about great tools in wrong hands, Visar! A bad thing to see but I see it much too often, unfortunately.
Cheers,
Nick

as you mentioned medium format camera; i went to the photo studio of a friend of mine, which was the first in town opened by his father.
in the drawers, he was keeping a Mamiya medium format, very fency for the time it was made, worn with crocodile skin and the iron edges on golden flame!! beautiful! i should not mention the great lenses, storing dust--- not being used for the last ten years at least!!! i was longing in having it eversince i saw it, but you know many great tools are in wrong hands, and that's just the way it is.
cheers,
v.

Hi again, Visar!
I can completely second your idea about lines creating shapes with which we perceive the world. I would also add that they can create the sense for depth (as leading) lines on an image, and so re-create (in our minds) the world in 3D. And these leading lines are indeed weaker on my crop, since they converge at some point outside the cropped image - the target point is then no more on the "world" of the photo.
Such crops, however can be perhaps considered as a hint for "backward engineering" - they say something like "what would have been if... blah blah". So perhaps the crop gives a hint about what your image could have been if there was more fog at the bottom half too and the frame were kept conventional. It could have been minimalistic and at the same time containing the whole strength of the leading lines. Useful for backward conclusions that could help in future, that is.
As about square images... oh well, Visar, if I had a medium format, I would be very happy ;-) Even the conventinal shape could be cropped out of a medium format image still having more film or CCD surface.
Cheers,
Nick

Great eye, Visar, technically love the way you framed despite not having riders you had
Worked extremely well by using ambient with space dimensions in to your advantage
That’s what makes me appreciate it!!!
All my best!!!

I am not really fond of square images, Nick. maybe i was subconsciously imposed to getting used in the conventional frame of the picture and that's how i grew to love it!
In the other hand i like this crop on it's minimalism and as you're saying it somewhat takes you onto an unearthly destination- while in the crop that i have posted, i like how all the lines, all somehow get together into one dissolving point (tree line from both sides, skilift cables)!! and you know that lines create shapes, and with shapes we get acquented with the surrounding and so percieve the world. so, i would like to use this as the argument of my pic- maybe lame, but that was the reason i shot the shot.
cheers,
v.

Aaarrrgghh! Why do they have to stop the lifts when they should be working for us, ey? Don't they care about the photographer? ;-)
The composition is still good the way it is - I was only wondering, Visar. And while wondering about raising the "uncertainty" I cropped off the lower part, which somehow makes it a bit visible where the lift takes one to. So, what about the crop? Is it perhaps too uncertain then, by removing all possible coordinates in space and making it only completely unknown?
I have to think about this image - thank you so much for posting it! It is such images that provide reasons for additional thinking about the things in photography that go beyond the purely technical.
Cheers,
Nick

Yes Nick, i wish there were one or two persons heading towards the woods, not towards me, but unfortunately the lift was not working! :)
as for the design, I don't know, here i tried to be loyal to the golden cut on- where the lift merges with the fog, i could not think of a better composition!! but, i guess i did not try that much, cause i think it might be possible some twisted angle or anything.
cheers,

A very strong image again for its uncertain depth, as the direction of the lift is perfectly defined but not its destination! I guess that the trees and the mount at the depth would be an even stronger hint toward the unknown if they aould be even less recognizable under the haze - but unfortunately such things like the haze do not do what we want ;-) Still a journey to who knows where.
Two questions:
1) Could it be that some fuzzy silhouettes of persons on the lift could enhance the image?
2) Perhaps some less centered design?
Still intriguing as it is now.

hey Edlira,
thanks for your comment and the suggestion. I do really apprichiate, but my intention was to give the mood that i think the shot brings forth; in land, from the land, heading on to the unknown through the myst... kind of mystifying, dim in it's future...
you propbably know that i am a big fan of minimalistic graphic work, -- and i did a few, elsewhere, while in Brezovica.
all the best to you,
v.

Nicely captured & composed. great shot!
I must say that i do agree with Tony about the landscape,
it would have had more effect the whole composition & mood if you would have cropped it out.. ( just a suggestion)
but all in all you always stay true to your unique style that that is what i love about your photos.
best regards

I like this image, and the film grain is very nice. Although it's obvious what it is, it's different enough to imagine what else it might be, if you know what I mean..

Interesting symmetry.Eliminating the landscape might result in a more graphic, minimalist image.Good work.
