nixterComment by Paul: Every 1000 comments, I have tried to pick an image from a DPC photographer / portfolio that I really admire, have a good look through and find an image to write a longer comment for.
This is my 3000th comment and it was a no brainer of a choice...
I've been through your portfolio a number of times but I'd never come across this image before. It is quite wonderful. The use of the blur, the coloration, the distressed overlay, all work so well. Most of all though, like much of your work, it is the sense of life and world that you capture that is so fascinating and beautiful.
The feeling we get from the image can transport us there, feeling the warmth of the day, but resist the temptation of the story and we find that the image as photograph is amazingly constructed, light and shade laid out for us in layers, cool coloration juxtaposed with unquestionable warmth, the communication of the cusp of night and day - tremendous.
Then there are the figures... As others have said, almost alien-like - but nonetheless they capture our essence.
A standout picture from a standout portfolio.
Thanks for the inspiration.
