Loneliness... Photo Gallery by Marisa Livet at pbase.com

Loneliness...

All these pictures have in common the theme of loneliness, not expressed dramatically and hopelessly, but in a kind of melancholy and meditative way, as a temporary emotional distance, a pause… They might give rise to a possible reflection, more for myself, I suppose, but all is so relative…

Solitude: a sweet absence of looks	Solitude is pleasant. Loneliness is not	All was ready to welcome them, but the guests forgot to come...
The precious art of solitude	Solitude is a sweet absence of looks...	His music as only company....
The desperate persistence of waiting....	The involuntary and distressing loneliness of the prisoner...	Lonely picnic of a melancholy horse
The end of the tunnel...	The lonely leaf, which wanted to get in...	Emma and Irene are not there...
Lonely coffee	Things are rarely the way they look like...	Too tired for anything else
Crib & Coffee	Only a newspaper to share lunch with	A big problem to solve on one's own is a burden at all ages...
Solitary thoughts over a Coke	The tiredness of a mature roller-skater...	Waiting for anybody, knowing that nobody will come...
Lonely brave little explorer	Evening on his own...	Too small to ring the bell...
In or Out?	"Since you are so far away I'll write you louder...."	Funfair desolation
None, nowhere, nothing	Shared loneliness	Why??
Loneliness in the school courtyard

Hi Marisa, I agree totally with Aloha Diao Lavina, this is a very soulful gallery indeed and I wish my English would allow to explain what I would like to say, every image is a motivation to meditate about, a big vote, Rosemarie :o)

Aloha Diao Lavina		20-Aug-2007 06:26
Not melancholy, but certainly more a wistfulness pervades these images. Sometimes loneliness is the large toothless mouth of an ancient beast--it swallows us only when we allow it. But certainly in day to day life there are moments when the self is terribly unconnected and it's not monumental...it just is. Thanks for this meditation, your images are soulful. Voted of course.

flowsnow		17-Aug-2007 16:12
Fantastic gallery Marisa. I like your style of presentation of the human emotions and selecting images to fit in this gallery. It definitely shows your great talent. Well deserved V++

silvia marmori		13-Jul-2007 18:40
you are right.. you succeeded to show melancholy but not dramatic feeling about it.. loneliness .. hard subject it is, as if sharing, we bear any lack.. health, work, home ..all some of the images here bring a shy smile.. but others are an arrow, threw by a sharpshooter, direct to the soul..

pepe_carmona2000		06-Jun-2007 19:21
buena galeria con bellas fotografias voto

Jaime González		20-May-2007 07:45

This is one of the most touching gallery I've seen in a while..... Leaving the home country can be a painfull lonely experience.

Guest		01-Oct-2006 08:19
I know.. Feeling loneliness... I am 22 years old and sometimes i am loneliness, in the real world or, in my mind. Love this gallery.

Marcos Rodriguez		14-Aug-2006 22:54
Not only are you an amazing photographer, but an accomplished poet as well! Because of the incomparable captions on each photo, this gallery is one of the most moving I've seen. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your art with all of us.

Marisa, you are such an artist! I start by looking at your most recent addition to this gallery, think I'll post a comment, then look at a few more and think I'll post a few more comments, but ALL of these images are so beautiful I'd be commenting all day!!!! Every one of these is stand-alone gorgeous.

KW Tam		03-Dec-2005 00:28
You get what is loneliness with a beautiful presentation. The persons in the photos give me very great pressure of loneliness. Good work!

Galina Stepanova		09-Sep-2005 21:06
Wonderful gallery Marisa! The feel familiar to everyone but not easy to express. You have done great!

This is a beautiful gallery, very well done. It's hard to pick a favorite!

Steve Pepple		22-Jul-2004 20:25
Very nice gallery. I really like the first two photos, plus the alley with the magical shop. I am not crazy though about all the special effects, they can be distracting. Your photos stand on their own.

Guest		29-Jun-2004 04:13
This is the most beautiful album on the web. I love what you do! A true artist! Donna

bygaspo		22-Jun-2004 20:14
Being alone is not always a sadness, it can be a time for reflection or just enjoying your own company at peace. Nice gallery and well thought out. Regards Bygaspo.

Outstanding collection perfect for this theme! Great idea, and got my vote.

Guest		20-May-2004 09:57
I enjoy your gallery a lot. This compilation of loneliness touches mine and I am sure many others as well. It seems that many of us go into that phase one time or another. Great work :)

Guest		16-May-2004 14:05
Hai, second picture really touch the heart,emotions are all written on face,Good work.I invite you to my galleries.Sanjiv

Guest		14-May-2004 21:44
Do you like painting? I think you might like Edward Hopper. Many of his paintings evoke the same sentiments as this gallery (at least to me).

Guest		07-May-2004 13:34
Hi! I enjoyed this gallery..sensed the melancholia blended with a twist of humour. I also thought the neatness of the framing blending with the appearance of the pictures. As a guard against sadness and tristess. I find it interesting that some people have to have order and tidyness to function, while other people use untidyness and disorder to feel structured at a given moment. All relatively of course!
