Ola, I?ve seen Smoke some years ago, but I still can?t get the point -- as far as I remember, Smoke was a touching movie about people who regularly frequent a tobacco shop, locals who meet there and change the little stories about what is going on in their neighbourhood -- quite a good movie. Again -- it?s all about people: faces, stories, even some tragedy (as was the case with the author who has lost his wife). But in this photo, I don?t see faces at all, I only see some people going their way.
As I have said before, I DO like this picture, I?m only missing something. This something may be a hidden story or an idea which connects those people, or which allows me to connect with (at least one of) those people. As it is, this is just a street?s corner.
Adressed to : Jaques Bagios. I think you?re wrong in this. If youve seen the film Smoke with Harvey Keitel, by Paul Auser and Wayne Wang you?de know what I mean. I got a hard time explainig it to you so I?ll just recomend you to take a look at this move, not only for this reason, but the fact that Its a frekkin good movie too. Keep Up the G work Tobias.
This is a bit difficult for me -- technically it's excellent, but it doesn't say anything at all. There's nothing really going on in this picture (although there definitely are some people going on), but that's exactly my problem: I cannot get in touch with the people, and there is no hidden story... But that's only my opinion.
