Between the photo and traveller's comment...I have to agree this is a marvelously thought out and composed photo!!! I hope you enlarge this and put it on your wall....or perhaps you could submit it....anywhere...this would work for UN/UNICEF type work....or any solutions provider company...this is the brilliance that advertising lost...a while ago! Nothing but congrats on a great, GREAT photo!
:-D
Sigh...we've argued, or at least I have, over your titling of images. I'm not sure what the problem has been, but I have a fantasy of sitting down with you and...just figuring this out. Ah, the Editor in me.
Be That as it May...this is....to me, and I keep coming back to it day after day...an important image where the title leads the viewer to...deeper truths, an awareness of...what life really is. I think that this should be on a poster and hung in the UN or plastered all over the world on light posts and wherever.
The child is kind of quizzical, maybe even worried...and properly so. The world is a damned tough place and could well being going to hell in a hand basket. Will the Rubik's Cube help him, and the world? Has he solved it, or has he solved nothing in the sense that his parents gave him a puzzle with nothing but white squares on it...a massive betrayal...because it is truly unsolvable?
But then of course there is his youth...literally, he IS the solution...and yet he's a little out of focus (as are we all)....damn, this is a great piece of work! Best Wishes, Traveller
iso, Great looking little guy and smart too. Already got him solving those Rubik cubes for ya, eh?! Love the expression on his face. I'm a sucker for these shots!! -- Jeannie (jburly)
Great idea and very well executed as always. The boy's expression is priceless and matches the concept, except I feel the "puzzle" should have been yet to be solved. --Olaf.dk
This is a wonderful idea. The crisp, clear forms in the Rubik's Cube and the shallow DOF that lets you see the wonder in the boy's face yet draw your eye down to the cube are just right. I also like how the light on the cube as well as the boy gives us such nice shadows. The image seems nicely balanced to me.
