empty chair

You love music, and browse billboards for some excellent concert.
You find a concert and buy a ticket, long in advance, half a year or so.
Then you fall sick and nobody can locate where cancer cells come from.
Then you die.
And your seat stays empty all concert.

I love to go to the conservatoire. Addicted to it. If I am not there for a month, I have a withdrawal. It gives 2 hours of pure pleasure. Love to be there alone. I close my eyes, music helps to put thoughts in order.

This time I was in this empty chair. Bach was wonderful as usual.

photographers say

Ralph Gibson:
- when you take pictures in b/w you make 3 steps away from reality: you eliminate color, contract size, come from 3D to 2D. That's why blac&white photography looks more drammatic, cause you make 3 steps away from reality.

Eugene Smith:
- What's use of depth-of-field if there is no deep emotions?

Bill Brandt:
- The distinctive feature of a phorographer is that he looks more intensively at things than other people. He must preserve eye of a child who looks at the world for the first time, or of a traveller who enters a country he's never been to before.

beauty

Lilian Bassman,
born in 1917 (!)
she was one of those who trended and directed fashion photography.
negatives of these pictures were found in her old studio in the garbage bags.
they were revived.

this totally reflects my feeling of woman's beauty and how it should be captured on a still image.

she still lives and still creates. admirable!
