After about a year of life on the run, I started playing more and more often with the idea to simply jump off that train of speed. It was the wish to not be a part of it. When I made my decision, of course, I had my doubts and also a bit of anxiety about what might happen next. But the jump off the train just had to be done.
On one of the last days before I gave up all of those "carrier dreams in a big company" and simply send my boss an email about my retreat, I wished to try an image with a "salad" of all the usual views on the daily run. A fourfold exposure, about which I'd be glad to read any comments.
Oh, and Tom Hanks doesn't pay me! ;-) The newspaper is the "20 minutes" that one can have for free in any railway station. It is the usual thing that commuetrs read - contains most of the time rubbish. Oh well, why reading a book when one can be "informed" about happenings on this world that are thoroughly "analyzed" in a paragraph of about four/five lines? Thinking has to be speedy too in the daily run.
Thanks a lot for the great comment and your time and interest, Shyamal! It is the way I wish all discussions would happen here!
There is no reflection here. It is a multiple (fourfold) exposure, a technique that I use ofte, (Perhaps too often! ;-))
When I started with this, I was only trying to see how such images look. But as the time was passing by, I started planing more and more. And the, after some time, it developed to some kind of collage in mind priorly to shooting. That is, I fiest "saw" in mind what I wanted to have, and then searched vor possible good views that would help composing the overall impression out of many single shots on the same part of the film. The multiexposed images I post are all "planned" this way.
I am glad that it gave this undefinable impression to you, since it was my intention to create the same "salad" of views that wandered in my mind at the same time while I was thinking of them in the train. Some of them seen through the window, some of them in the train. A chaotic summary of views if you wish. Chaotic, but still a summary that does contain some interrelating elements and junctions between the seemingly independendly existing parts.
As always, I love the complexity in your images, and I always want to sit and analyze each pixel, and to that end this picture is a buffet for me. I don't even know where to begin (which I suppose can be seen by *some* photographers as a negative), but I am drawn to the newspaper first, possible just because my mind sees something instantly recognizable in the face, then I wander to the "background", i.e. the objects behind the reflection ... but wait, which one is the reflection?
Wonderful exposure, maybe it's just me, but I can twist the image so that my mind believes the trees are part of the reflection, or maybe the red thing (I still can't quite figure out what it is) is the reflection.
I really like how each corner of the image has something interesting; trees, a piece of trash, the newspaper, and the lines of the red thing.
I also like how in the top right, the lines of the window merge with the lines of the corner of the newspaper, and the lines of the electrical pole merge with the red/yellow structure. Did you plan it like this? This image is at one chaotic and yet smoothly flows around itself as the viewer continues gazing at it.
