I'ts not a reportage

Posted 12/02/2010 - 08:30 Link
More than 300 Hasidim from all over the world have come to Lelσw on Thursday, January 21th, to pray on the grave of one of the most famous tzadikim of all times – Dawid Biderman called Lelower – celebrating the centenary of his death.
I was there one day before the celebrate and just for an one hour. I made eleven shots. I want to show you nine pictures.

As I wrote in the tilte, it's not a reportge but a some kind of obserwation througt my streetphotography eye.

That first image is so imaginative - technically it might fall a little short but as an idea and image just wow.

I like the images as a set, so imaginative and keenly observed. I hesitate to pick a favourite, I think the project works best as a portfolio collection.

those are really rather good, especially as a set.

As the other guys have set, as a set I think these images are first class.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

What works for me firstly is that the set looks superb in BW - there really was no other way to portray these images. Secondly, to repeat David's words - keenly observed. It's the "little", human aspects of daily life that you've picked up on so acutely and so well.

Fantastic shots. Really love 4, 7 and 9, but they are all great. Excellent BW conversions.

Thank you all for comments

Err I meant 4, 6 and 8. Miscounted

Karmazuniello, they are even more impressive if you shot film!

Excellent set, my favourite would be #3 followed closely by #7.

I think 3 and 6 are my favourites.

I'm not choosing: how could one? They're a wonderful set. I recently wrote in a thread that photographs should engage the mind as well as the eyes and the emotions...

I've just spent the morning photographing a boring, disused quarry; I'm not sure whether to give up today or tomorrow: I'll never produce anything this good.

Regards,

Andrew
Best wishes,

Just brilliant, really like your approach. I feel a bit the same as Andrew does!
