The life on the other side Photo

Photographer’s Note

Snapshot / candid photo.
A coffee shop on the first floor of a bookshop. A married couple waiting for something. They look out of the window. Both seem busy with themselves - each one in their own way. While the man looks into space, the woman looks at the posters on the opposite roadside.

See workshop.

Hello Wolfgang,
A very interesting interplay between this couple, each apparently lost in their own thoughts. It is a very good capture made all the more interesting by the posters on the wall opposite. Very well observed and executed. I agree that the colour version works better as a means of expression here.

Hello Wolfgang,
Interesting visual tension between two worlds, even three worlds: the man's, his wife's and the world at the other side of the street. I like the overall melancoly of this subtle daily life shot. Flawless photographic rendering of it...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hallo Wolfgang,

du hast ein tolles Photo dargestellt.
Es zeigt, wie die Leute - auch verwandten bzw. lebensgefaehren - nicht mehr miteinander kommunizieren.
es ist was Ionesco nannte "grundsaetzliche Unkommunikation" - jedes das seine...ohne Kontakt zu gewaehren
und dazu hat die Werbung bzw. Massmedien beigetragen!

The composition and expressions of the photo sums up the limitations of inner thoughts and the outside possibilities! the two worlds we live in! great Job!

Wolfgang,
There's always mileage (kilometreage!) to be had from "ordinary" people in such highly designed environments. Where the architecture and images on display conform to an advertiser's/designer's aesthetic.

Hello Wolfgang,
One of the simple but great photos from daily life. They are couples but different persons. They feel and live the life in their own ways,
Thanks for sharing,
Best regards,
Tulay

Hello Wolfgang!
It is a great picture! It looks like something to seperate the couple from the real world and the life they maybe desire.Maybe they have caused the problem, everyone with his/her own way.I like the way you see daily scenes...and the way you interpret ordinary attitudes.
Kind regards,
Rene

Hi,
Maybe sometimes you have to remain silent even when you went together for coffee:)
Well shown, and noticed, I like it:)
