Remains of a Nightmare Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes nightmares keep on haunting us with some faded images well mixed to each other. We may have seen friends of present or past or the future, or relatives being in difficult conditions, maybe we are the miserable and helpless one suffering. The only deliverence is waking up, yet it sometimes takes a while to get whether all those were real or just a nightmare. Anyway, still after some time, it might be fun or torment remembering those things we have seen, most probably belonging to our troubled subconscious or maybe our previous lives. Who knows...

Photo taken in Camera Obscura, and dedicated to Veysel (veyselk) who requested to see some gothic images from Glasgow.

neye baktığımı anlamadım, ama çok beğendim... dedim ya... hayvansın sen... hatta kabusum oldun şimdi...

ps: kuzeye çok yakıştı...

Don't know what it is really but impressed me strongly. Remember: "Un Chien andalou" Luis Bunuel's debut?? The first gore movie.. without a sense and consequence, full of nightmare, surrealistic and full of cruelty scenes..
Don't you feel it's quite close??
Well done really..
with regards, Agnieszka

insanın zihnini oldukça zorladığı belli ki korkut abi bile neye baktığını anlamamış...bizim hiç şansımız yok :p .İnsanın içinden LOL diyesi geliyor valla.:)
Sıradışıların adamı,sıradışı bir fotoğrafla selamlıyor bizi..Grenler çok yakışmış ve adeta bir korku filminin senaryosuna göre uyarlanmış.
Selamlar ağabi :)

gece uykularıma girecek bu kare bilinçaltı kabusumu yansıtmışsın adeta :)
gothic fotoların ötesine geçmiş ve ustalıkla çekilmiş bir kare, fotoğrafçılığın ilk zamanlarını son teknoloji cameranla yansıtmışsın.
ellerine sağlık ve çok çok teşekkürler deniz :)

Chilling shot! With a perfect title.
Nothing to add, except that I really like it.
Thanks for sharing this fascinating image, Deniz.

Makes me think of a mortal shroud...
Very mysterious and sinister mood. What a look... makes one shiver.
Exceptionable.

Ne yani sen hologramik hayaletler yüklersin de ben çakma cadı aynaları koyamaz mıyım???
Başlangıç olarak tam da beklediğim, hayran kalmayı istediğim, bakıp da "ah beee" dediğim şey işte bu. Kıskandım mı? Biraz evet, ama ben orada olsam hayatta fotoğraf çekemezdim, kendimi kaptırıp giderdim. Onun için iyi ki sen gitmişsin oraya :)
MGM movies'den korku filmleri belgeseli gibi şerefsizim...

Crazy shot with some nice effects
the grainy texture, the B&W choice. to me it represents well what you propose in the note

Fantastic, how fascinating !

The face is rather mephistophelic, the white line on the right a pure mystery... I like the reference to Bunuel, anyway I'd say it's very cinematic !

... These are the kinds of photos I love to look for on flickr, many groups with such interesting dreamy photos...

(PS : I'm now informed about you by Korkut, best wishes for the future and hope to meet you again one day !)

Hello Deniz,

The profound reality of nightmares, good to feel that they are not real, but sometimes the reality we haven't seen can be scarier. The image speaks for itself, the notes adds mystery and depth.

Enjoy the weekend

;)

MarcT (21097) 2009-09-28 11:45

Hi Deniz,
That's a strange one. Indeed, kind of nightmare mood.
Nice to see you again.
