Sound, a photo from Coast, East

Photographer's Note

Down there, in Africa...
With my analog camera...
March, 2003...
-------
Being inspired by Sebastiao Salgado, in this series. His "Africa" collection of great photos is 100% of black & white. Seems like "photography = colour" is not totally true...

Hello Jerzy,
I like the grainy texture of the photo as well as the framing of the men.

Good shot, Jurek...
Upper right corner... It makes it human.

The rhythm of those hands in there... They are the rhythm of this photo...

Unusual cropping, unusual and very beautiful photograph

.....................

Just the suggestion:
Change the title to 'Rhythm'..

great shot!!!
indeed, the mouth and the eye in the corner are really nice. The man in the middle is really too intense!
very good tones
very good shot full of soul!

I like this grainy shot because it is life. I like the man on the right corner, who closes the picture, but unfortunately his hand is partially hidding the man at center.

I like it a lot,although the quality I think it's not the best,
but it's not what matters,the photo is very vibrant,the frame
is very precise I think,especially with that mouth in the right,
I like it.Nice scene with a well caught moment,I can say that I also like the background with that small house that tell us more about the context.It's a long time that I don't write such a long critique,I'm in shape I guess :p
Regards,
Horatiu

Witaj Jerzy.

Maybe this is one of your best post in the last weeks. Absolutly great. The subject, the light, the composition and the black and white. Also I like the deep.

Regards.

hi jerzy
wonderful capture. reminds me of old-time (really old time) adventure novels about africa i dug up in my grandmother's country house attic when i was 6... illustrations (gravures) had similar mood.

my compliments

You might have guessed I'd like this one j - close up in the action, expression - the repeated form and defined shapes and spaces, b&w - contrast and the DRUMMING!

The best of the series so far, Jerzy. Love the interplay of arms dominatinhg the scene, including the guy in the background closing the left bottom corner. And the detail of the face on top right looking at you is also great.

Hi Jerzy,
great one !
Did you make a scan from a slide or was it originally a B&W one ?
Your series is very good.
Cheers Chris

Hello Jerzy,
dynamicity and strong mood are shared by your image... I'm deep inside of it.
This is the way.
A smile
