Pensando, Enredando Sombras

Thinking, tangling shadows in the deep solitude.

You are far away too, oh farther than anyone.

Thinking, freeing birds, dissolving images,

burying lamps....

Your presence is foreign, as strange to me as a thing.

I think, I explore great tracts of my life before you.

My life before anyone, my harsh life....

The shout facing the sea, among the rocks,

running free, mad, in the sea spray.

The sad rage, the shout, the solitude of the sea.

Headlong, violent, stretched toward the sky...

Se derrumba, crepita. Incendio. Incendio.

Y mi alma baila herida de virutas de fuego.

Quien Ilama? Que silencio poblado de ecos?

Hora de nostalgia, hora de alegria, hora de la soledad,

hora mia entre todas!

Great words. This looks like a place on the stairs where smokers are banished to.

great images, very evocative, they make me feel tension and anxious...maybe they are smoking hurriedly to relieve it!!

The strange world and strange people. We are lonely and we do not know as to live in a society. We are afraid of freedom and closed space. We search for an exit and we do not see it. Philosophical photos.

Great use of b/w for tone and mood. There's an undercurrent of disturbance in the portraits, heightened by the Neruda poem. Like Ira says, philosophical photos. Fine work!

Quelle ambiance. J'adore. Bonnes fêtes Joaqy.

Back for another look. The people remind me of the characters in the book I'm reading, Savage Detectives, by Roberto Bolano.

The points of view and the mixture of shadows and light make this tabblo sublime. w00t! :)

This is conceptually and visually off the charts for me. And just plain cool. The B n W is the perfect vehicle for this "Band of Outsiders". K I L L E R.

RHONDA: You've made an interesting comment. How does it make you dizzy?
