lost dream I, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
Ansel Adams
“A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.”
Ansel Adams
“It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.”
Ansel Adams

“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.”
Ansel Adams
“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.”
Ansel Adams

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.”
Ansel Adams

Hi Georgios,
very impressive sight. Your choice of black and white is rightly justified, it adds so much drama to the picture. Good point of view too.
Cheers

Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Hello Georgios,
This is a different and slightly sad photo, very well converted to b&w. It makes me think of the carcass of an animal, left to die in the desert. The curve of the beach behind the wreck, and the contrast between the light left side and the dark right side make the composition as such very attractive, in spite of the sad sight.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Georgios,
A well composed picture along the S-line of the shore. The broken boat is indeed representing someone's lost dreams. Now it is an interesting object in the picture, perfectly captured in black&white that enhances the feeling of sadness.
Kind regards
