From the deepest drawer...

I know... I know...
There are already 78956 fotkas of the windows on TE
(a symbol representing the deep involvement into the world of art photography (I guess ?) next to the shadows on the pavement and the silhouettes at the end of the tunnel !!!)

Oh, well... Like it or not...
Here it is: A window no. 78957

.....................

Springtime cleaning in my city...
Tulips, magnolias and... Yes... The windows !!!
The windows must be spotlessly shine...

..................

Sorry for the presence of the human element in there...
As usual - my bad luck... :-)))

..........

One of my precious, golden thoughts:

As long as the photo doesn't resemble anything else seen before - it might be a piece of photography in there... (?)

..................

Sign of total frustration ?
It might be...

Hello George,
Nice and simple Assymetrical and irregular framing. The black and white, the grain, blurred fence suit the casualness of the capture of an ordinary girl looking for something in her home.

I have seen several photos by polish members and you have an interesting styles. Photography - cinematography. This is not strange from a country that produced lots of interesting films by successful directors.

cheers

To zdjęcie byłoby naprawdę dobre. Miało swoją szansę, ale jakieś głupie 1/50 sekundy i wszystko prysło jak bańka mydlana. Jakaś siatka. Oczywiście niedowidzący fotograf nawet nie wiedział, że ją ma przed oczami. I co wyszło? Pajęczyna, lep na muchy?
Okno? Obcięte od góry, a każdy wie, że w oknie najważniejsza jest góra - nadproże co trzyma cały budynek ponad oknem. A tu nadproża niet. A więc wszystko się wali, a mogło być pięknie i stabilnie. W końcu kobiecina co to nawet nie wiadomo czy stoi czy klęczy czy na parapecie czy na taborecie (taki dowcip do rymu, żeby było). Coś tam drapie, brud się wżarł, zamiast pomalować, to pazurami albo ostrą śierką walczy.
Kupy się to nie trzyma, numer okna też się nie zgadza - sprawdziłem na liczydle.
Oj, słabszy dzień dziś u Pana, Panie Polonaise. Weź się Pan do roboty, bo jak mi się to powtórzy to następnym razem napiszę coś z sensem (wiem, wiem, że to mało prawdopodobne)...


Jurcio, modro Ty moja, dlaczego ja Cię tak lubię?

Pozdrawiam.

Naaah,
You are a widow photographer, not a window photographer, G. ~:D

Why?

Because, a flowerpot is missing here, G.
Without a flowerpot, the most important element of window photography, you can never claim that you are a good window photographer.

So, 31 years ago, you were still peeping on the widows sneakily, pretending to take the window? What an obsession... :PPP

Hy Georgy,
Good one!
Poor women living in a daily life prison.
Fortunately there are men like you to let them dream ;o))
Cheers

Bardzo fajne i przewrotne jest to zdjecie :).
Lubie tak udekorowane okna.
Siatka ?
Toz ona robi (tez) czar tego zdjecia !
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

From the deepest drawer...that working woman's dress (almost a leopard motive) and her blonde hair...is this a SERIOUS spring cleaning or is she giving signs?

btw: I only knew Carl Zeiss Jena as a football team, funny old world...

Cheers, George!

Hi George,
:-))) hehehe... Something strange with the dimensions here... The window … a vast black hole from which a fragile and delicate creature emerges... so dedicated to her duty... and her arm that seems to embrace the gigantic wire fence... interesting visual effect...
Windows... they always have so much to offer... ;)
Have a great day!.
Andre

yeah, bad luck!
you always have bad luck with people disturbing your photos...
let me give you a tip...
i saw many times people with their cameras waiting for few seconds when the frame is emptied and no bloody pedestrian blocking fabulous architecture with his fat a$%... just be patient and wait bit... your reward will come...
got it? now go out and try this technique...!
-----
love this artistic touch in this bloody "stupid" scene....
best, j.

Hi Polonaise,

Hahaha, 'windows, they always have so much to offer'. I can see how that sparked your total frustration. Gosh, that is funny to read.
But hey, window is not the only thing that has been too often ;-). You at least put some fencing in it hahaha.

Greetings, Dennis

hello George,

it's like a moviescene, so beautiful, so special ... difficult to find the right words to describe ... it's awesome !
greetings, inn

Ooh.!

This brings out in my mind something deeply buried...a feeling, a necessity...
there it is....I have to clean my windows !!! :P.
Dunno how many fotkas I have been posting since I did that last time:)))

Full of the joy of soon being able to look out of them on a fresh new world, I now tell you this: I love this one photograph. Despite the missing plant (don't you like plants you polish people ?), but maybe she put it away to clean !:-) I do find this is at the same time so downearthish and yet like out of a dream, with that texture, her fairy-like look...it takes a Polonaise to give this daily chore that mix...to bring the love out, and the humorous side too.

Keep being (un)lucky hehe!

Hi George.

What wonderful lens and what wonderful picture... and this one has 31 years.

Also I think it isn't an easy picture, but you made a great work.

Regards.
