There's life in the void
I thought about death recently. Maybe it was a casual reaction to the fact that I lost someone from my family some months ago. I become aware of its grip and felt, since then, a dark energy surrounding things. A connection between them, like they are entwined together in this culture of death. The same way life bounds things together. Or time.
On a curious note, it happened the same when my son was born. Felt the same grip, as I realized time catches all, adapting, changing things and ultimately destroying them. I can't say that this is fear or just wonder. Or a mix of both. I feel this grip in my photography too as I walk along strange places, filled somehow with this dark energy, that is, paradoxically, giving a peculiar will to explore, live, breathe.
I am still searching those places. Mornings. Pattern. Abandoned feelings that deserve a resurrection. I feel good acknowledging them, to witness their mistery. Happy to be here, for as long as I can. Happy to leave my quantum markings on the strange energy between the things on this Earth.
Equipment used: FujiXT10, 18mm f2, 23mm f1.4, tripod for some, Lightroom b/w, expired polaroid presets.
Photographs taken in the south-central area of Romania.
I woke up this morning determined to be depressed. Your images have been a great assistance in my efforts.
Well done, for I fear death no more. After seeing how many live and experience life.
You captured the dark soul perfectly.
great photos, seems I'm looking at movie shots. :)
Thank you! :)
These are dope AF! Kind of American Gothic-y. Love it!
Thanks, man! :)
Ohhh... si in "tag" suntem cu totii din cand in cand, parte din povestea vietii. Foarte creativ :) Te urmaresc cu placere!
Merci! :)
I lost someone from my family in March and few days later my girlfriend broke up with me... and trust me- now I am living the worst part of my life ... you need to be strong... this is life and you will not change it...
True dat. I am sorry for your loss.
It is ok..
So sorry for your loss...
amazing pictures!!!
Thank you, Alexandra!
Awesome images.... but i thought you wanted me to come and visit. The bleakness of these makes me want to stay at home :D
Thanks, bro! No worries, that's just my fucked up vision. Not an accurate representation of the merry Romanian LotR Shire-like places. :))
Wonderfully bleak set of images!
Thank you, man!
Cum am mai spus, nu mă pricep in a aprecia fotografia. Fără context, sunt doar imagini pentru mine.
In schimb îmi place mult felul tau de a scrie. Autentic și fără să arunci cuvinte doar să umpli pagina 👍.
Merci!
Sorry for your loss, catalin. And congrats on welcoming your son to the world. The cycle of things is remarkable indeed. Its amazing how intertwined everything is. Coincidenta oppositorium. And the greatest of them is, of course, death and life. Brilliant photographs!
Cheers,
Ras.
Thanks, Ras. Makes one realize its own beautifully monumental smallness in the midst of it all. Popping in and out of existence. Out of literally nothing that can be quantified on eternity's disarming timeline. Like in quantum physics.
