urban density Photo

Photographer’s Note

not quite the same type of density as the one from my previous post, yet another graphic example of human density
Her images were really inspirational to me.

wow, what a depressing view of something that was typical for "my part of europe" some 20-30 years ago...

but this type of "tin of sardines" could be found in ANY part of the world, i guess... this is humiliating that contemporary world allows for "such things"...

much to do/improve in front of us...

good you show us this sort of things...

Bonjour Emmanuel,
Belle image de Marseille. Ce n'est certes pas la plus touristique mais c'est aussi ça Marseille. Ta photo est très impressionnante et illustre bien les problèmes d'urbanisation.

Bonjour Emmanuel
Quelle vue surprenante, car il n'y a pas de limites et cet immeuble semble infini dans les 2 directions.
Bon coup d'oeil

Bonjour Emmanuel

Je viens de parcourir les vignettes de ta galerie, quel sens du graphisme ! Beaucoup d'excellentes compositions que je vais m'empresser de regarder de plus près pour rattraper mon (incompréhensible) retard;o)
Celle-ci en est évidemment un parfait exemple, même si ce n'est pas le sujet le plus gai que tu aies travaillé. Mais le résultat est là, implacable.
C'est sûr que mises côte à côte, tes deux dernières images ne reflètent pas la même qualité de vie.
Bonne idée de pointer du doigt ce que l'on ne voit plus...

Bon dimanche
Karine

Hi Emmanuel!
Fantastic work. Original POV, very good capture. Good contrast. Ideal sharpness. Fantastic effect.
Cheers!

Hello Emmanuel,
Un bon plein cadre de la médiocrité dont sont capables des architectes et urbanistes dont il y a fort à parier qu'ils ne crèchent pas dans ces clapiers!
C'est simple, vrai et fort.
Bravo.
cordialement.

Hi Emmanuel,

I like this, art out of such a common sight.
It's a very graphical shot but I think it can be made even more graphical by making some little corrections. So I've made you a little WS. TFS

Bonsoir Emmanuel
Bravo pour cette compostion graphique. Un univers sans horizon; poutant il y a une vie derrière ces fenêtres.
Une image percutante.
Bonne fin de week-end.
Pierre.

Salut.Je suppose que c'est une photo provenant des quartiers Nord de la ville .Trés bon cliché ,avec une sensation d'infini de cet immeuble et une réalité extraordinaire.Bravo et un petit coucou aux Marseiilais.

Bonjour Emmanuel,
Impressionnant ! Un grand bravo pour le travail réalisé (outre l'excellent cadrage, je suppose que tu as dû redresser les lignes). Toutes ces petites cases, si semblables et pourtant tellement différentes. Chacune renferme une histoire différente.
Gaphiquement c'est très réussi.

Emmanuel,
Absolutamente incrível essa imagem, mostrando de um excelente ponto o fenômeno. Graficamente também está muito bom.

Abraço

crhieatt (5145) 2009-08-02 14:48

Emmanuel,

Brilliant and fascinating shot which manages to be both simple and complex at the same time.

I can't help but wonder where you took the photo from? An adjacent tower block? Your private helicopter?

Cheers
Colin

Bonjour Emmanuel!!

Une grande idée que nous parlons de la vie urbaine, de vivre comme des abeilles dans une ruche, et chaque fenêtre est différente, comme dans la vie ... il est différent pour chaque maison ...

Très intéressante composition, graphique, colorée et pleine de vie ...

Salutations

Manuel

It is such a surprise to see this style of building in France. It must be a nightmare living in something as crowded as this. Your careful framing emphasises your point perfectly.

Bonsoir Emmanuel,

Avant ta série de vide tu avais fait la série du plein et du trop plein.
Bien vu

Amazing, absolutely amazing! People are like little chickens all crammed into this small place. The beauty is that they are all different. TFS, TW

Yes indeed, that is beyond dense. Very interesting shot. Good detail. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Emmanuel,

perfect crop of this facade, with an impressive moltiplication effect.

Compliments!

Hi Emmanuel,
That's a horror view! But very interesting as a document and graphic effect.

Le motif qui a bloque ta concentration. A ta place Emmanuel, je n'aurait pas rate l'occasion, non plus. Habile reaction, ami.

Tres content de te connaitre et fier de ta visite,

Branko

Bonjour Emmanuel,

J'aime beaucoup ce genre de photos faites de répétitions qui mettent bien en évidence les travers de notre société, travers qu'on ne remarque plus ou qu'on se refuse à remarquer.
Je trouve ta photo bien cadrée : de présenter cette façade sans laisser percevoir le ciel accentue l'effet de densité.
Photo intéressante et intelligente !
Merci pour ton commentaire sur la photo que je préfère de ma galerie.
Amicalement,
Magali

Hi Emmanuel,
Bucharest is bad enough regarding blocks and living conditions, but this is even worse. Very well seen, perfectly graphic image!

Hi Emmanuel

It's unique picture of urban architecture ...
From tumbnail, my first thought this is abstract painting

Not only roads, you have some great architectural shots in your gallery too, Manu. This one - in spite of the strong light (I'd have tried to cut down on exposure) - this one - of course - stands out. Ugly beauty, beautiful ugliness, it all depends on how you look at it and on who's looking.

I'll gladly joing in in the applause for this one. And it works really, really well as a twin upload with your previous upload. Great!

Benny

Juzo (560) 2009-10-25 6:52

Hi Emmanuel,
I love this image. I love the patterns and abstract results from modernist architecture yet this one not only captures a symmetry but also a human side as well.
I have noticed a number of your images and love your work!
Regards
Justin

Hi Emmanuel!
You're really showing the reality of so many cities around the world.So many people living in the same building, most part of the times without knowing each other.It's very well framed and i like the format you have chosen, it gives a better idea of how high the building is.

MichaelTrezzi (3170) 2009-10-31 14:24

Hello Emmanuel, very well seen this depressing settlement. I like how the apartment "cubicles" align with the photo format. Well done. Kind regards, Michael

Wanda1 (11015) 2009-11-09 10:09

Hi Emmanuel,
So many tiny details to look at for a long time, each little square holds something different. Great selection of apartments. Looks like a modern tapestry.
Regards
Wanda

figenya (1651) 2009-11-19 3:52

Hi Emmanuel

Great shot and compositon, suitable name telling the story.

The scene makes me think that the more complex the life becomes, the more we become unhappy. Simple and ordinary things are good for our souls.

thanks for sharing

regards
