what lasts..what doesn't, a photo from Maharashtra, West

Photographer's Note

"Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting..

As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself" - - Haruki Murakami.

I never thought i would pull this out of my archives and share this on TE, it is personal, subjective, a deep secret, quite private.

A must visit if you find yourself in Mumbai, Aksa Beach. Eerie, the light is just beautiful after the blue hour, after the twilight fades, you begin to experience the surreal, the muffled voices trailing the wind, the obscure shadows and forms of people, the story keeps building. Feeds your senses.

Hello Sayeed

Beautiful photograph, and I love the note too: though I'm intrigued by the somewhat gnomic comment about subjective deep secrets! The slow shutter speed has worked a treat to create the effect you wanted with the moving figures in the foreground. An excellent piece of work.

Regards

Will

So you are familiar with my favourite author Sayeed!! His latest novel sold over a million copies in Japan in the first week. Aren't most photos subjective by the nature of the interaction between photographer and subject? I like the result here with the mysterious combination of the definitions of limbs and loss of definition, confirming our transient existence. Salam. Klaudio.

Sad, true and joyful.

Your posts are beauties out of time.

Keep heart, Sayeed.

Cheers

Hi again Sayeed
Great use of long exposure! Really like the "shadow" humans juxtaposed with static elements of the composition. The colours are wonderful.
