picture by rafallano

This is a brilliant child portrait. Unconventional, yes, but not only. The freezing of the movement of the tangerine, giving the impression of magic in the air, the serious and concentrated expression of the kid, the depth of field: all concur for the capture of a moment in the childhood, when the world is still a magic place.
Last but not least the toning and the palette (orange and green) create a bright, vivid atmosphere, while slightly awkard.
Just perfect.

carrer del baluart

carrer dels safareigs

l'eau à la bouche

carrer de ginebra

urnas e brisas

entre estas urnas tão claras e lisas,
escolherei a das minhas cinzas.

embora me pareça que as brisas
são urnas mais claras, mais lisas, mais finas,

e levem mais longe essas leves cinzas
que restarem de tão breves ruínas...

i am so sorry

carrer de l'atlantida

picture by ichbincan

This pictures send me back directly to surrealism. There is of course the direct reference to Dali, with the clocks, but not only. I remember seeing early surrealist pictures of stairs and shoes, and this picture resonates with that.
Additionally, the composition is quite well done, but not immediatelly revealed. The line that goes from bottom right and winds up the stairway brings the eye to the watches in the back, with a brilliant combinantion of depth of field.
I wish I had taken this!
