Photographer’s Note

Alone.....by Heart

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
you don't know how long i have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

One of my favorites songs . In this way I want also to show what I wanted to say in this thread
I dedicate this to my friend Johannes because he likes this picture.
Image taken somewhere inside of Hagia Sofia ......

Hi Isabela,
Very different work.. It has a great depth, and the figure at the end of the image reflects the feeling of loneliness well.. and the wall on the right and its surface completes the composition..your choice of B&W is great..
Best wishes,
ReLa

Hi Isabela.
I also like this picture,in spite of it makes me feel a lot of claustrophobia..It suggest to me Alone over the gray silence..The stone walls give the shot a great hardness.I want ask you,why the noise is more visible at vertical wall?
TFS Isabela,and best regards,
Son.

hi Isa.
a nice image, maybe just too much wall on the right side, letting not much place to the person, but of course, this underlines the loneless.

Dear Isabela,

thank you manymanymany times!!!! A great photo, very sad, a young lady thrown into a corner, alone, sad... I will tell you why I like this photo: it is very reduced, concentrating on the person, without showing too much around her; and her state of mind is emphasized by the little room you give her - walls, stones all around her, and very little space in front of her - very impressive!

Because you asked me for my favourite song to this photo, here it is:

John Cale, "Close Watch"

Never win and never lose
There's nothing much to choose
Between the right and wrong
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Still things aren't quite the same
Between you and me

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I still hear your voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there's nothing much I can do
Because I can't live without you
Any way at all

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

The link to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td5ggufGakU

Te pup, Johannes

Hi Isabela,

most strong emotional capture. This girl, thightened in the corner as her only true ally, the only thing she can lean on, all alone between this cold stone walls...heart braking. Excellent POV leading straight to her, to her misery and loneliness. Straight to emotions.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Unique capture! I am wondering what she is thinking and even doing there! Dramatic and sad at the same time! Wonderful framing and POV! Good choice in B&W!!! Thank you for sharing! Regards Stella

Hi Isabela :)

Great shot !!!

Take care,

maria (2714) 2008-05-23 12:10

Hi Isabela,
Beautiful shot. The warm and mismatched textures in the image result in a great composition.
The POV is very effective; your eyes are led to the girl.
Regards,
Maria
