Life is... from the behind
I like to take the portraits not front but from the behind.
It seemed that the appearances from behind told so many things to me.
Taking the pictures, I have guessed their lives, agonies, sorrow and pleasure.
Here I show you some photos.
old men from the behind
young persons from the behind
I ‘d like to contrast between young and old.
What do you feel ?
Mostly I felt loneliness from old men, vivid vitality from young ones.
But time from young to old was incredibly short.
Life is but a moment staying for a while.
From the old men, I had a sense of their awareness of time being short.
The young men, it was that, they have a lot of time.
Truth is as you said. But before the young figure it out, their time will be short.
Thank you @slowwalker, very interesting post!!
Enjoy the journey!!
Thank you for your comment
im in my 40's sometimes walking a block seems like a mile walking uphill, whats happening, whats with this I try to figure it out, when i travel to another place far away, it does not happen much, is this what you call from behind, its interesting because then gradually it starts again few days a week, is this old age starting, in the 40's seems kind of too much to handle to be honest!
you are a great observer of people and things, @slowwalker, that is why you stand far off to see things better.
Did you ever think our minds are like this--like the headlight on a train, turned outwards, not back on ourselves?
All our dreams and memories are filled with other people and their lives.
A very simple, yet profound observation, my friend.
Thank you for your comment
your comment make me think alot
each one of your posts is different, @slowwalker, filled with the wonder and joy of life
Although many 아줌마 and 아저시 have suffered a lot during the wars or during the poverty years they remain positive and strong in mind. Guess this flexibility also is one of the good things of the Korean people and what makes Korea as it is now.

Hmmmmm......life they say has so many meanings and if you dont get the right nurturing t you wouldn't be able to live it to your expectancy. Being young doesn't mean you gonna stay that till eternity so its wirth planning for the future and untill you know this you wouldn't appreciate it. Lobe the photography
Nice. But the last one I think its not the old man :D
a man with the pole
At times young is the potrait of the old. I liked your thought on seeing yourself from behind @slowwalker
Nice point of view :) time passes by really fast...
Thank you
Interesting perspective. Enjoying your photo-blog!
Thank you so much
thats our future
great job keep it up
:)
I like your new take on live photography. Incredibly interesting change in perspective, to view one from behind.
I would say that in the photographs of the elderly, I noticed their posture most. Worn and curved with time, but more thoughtful than ever. To stare at ones feet while walking seems contemplative. I like that.
The youthful photographs show more determined figures. Facing forward, busy with the day, looking upward and engaging with technology. Buzzing with life and promise.
This says much about the stages in life. Excellent project and observation.
