My deepest compliments to you, Sasa, for such a touching tribute. The picture is fantastic, the way you have caught him walking along this "corridor of light" fills it with deep symbolic meaning.

Cheers
Alexander

I like that kind of tilted images. And this one is not only well composed but also very nicely enlighted. It looks pretty good in this slight sepia tone.
Very good job you've done here.

This one is a masterpiece, Sasa.

I love visiting your gallery because from almost every photo I can learn something new. New POV's, new ideas, new way of looking at things... You're preseting us your world and you do it in a utterly beautiful way. Thank you.

I love this photo but most of all I love the story it tells.

Best regards and REALLY thanks for sharing

Hy Sarolta
You daddy must be very proud on you, and there is a universal truth...If a child reserves such worm words for he's parent, this must be a very gentle and loving one...
Much joy and serenity for both:)

Give all my greetings to the old professor. How could I give you a critic without words? I say so because this is a photo for feel, one of those that appears here from time to time. It´s always hard to stand up in front of systems, give him also my thankfull congratulation. Take care.
PS: Too much words, I´m sorry.

Hi Sarolta,
Nice tribute to your father. I understand that for you, it is very personal and mostly feeling. But let me tell you that your photo and your note have a resonance in my own heart. Oh, my father was not a professor, far from it, though he worked in schools a big part of his life. He were the guy who make the floors shiny, washing them, polishing them, taking care of them, making the school a nice and clean place to live, with all the heart he was capable of. I will not have the chance to take a photo of him, since he died more than 10 years ago. But, why do I say that your photo has a resonance? Simple. Today would have been his birthday. He would have had 80 years old.
Fathers of different background. Fathers nevertheless.
You photo? The beauty of lights and shadows...
Thank you Sarolta. And sorry for my emotional answer to your photo. I could not help it.
Claire

This is a wonderful and poignant tribute to your father. I applaud your sense of balance, your acute observation of human emotion and objective form to meld the two into this intricately woven image of a proud man's lonely vigil on truth. My felicitation.

Besides the great tones and the perspective I especially like the angle at which you took (or cropped) this image. The second thing that catched my eyes after the man is the strange psychodelic pattern on the floor, together with the angle this gives the image a slightly sureal touch.

Hi Sarolta,

Walking through these diminishing arches of light towards this dark 'internalised' area of the image - walking into memories, darker spaces to be revealed, the mist of the past - but also walking consciously through the light - an image full of meaning, stark beauty, rich tones - there is so much love and understanding generated through this image - I'm really moved by Claires comments and your photograph.

I am reading again and again your note. it is so beautiful that I can stop reading it. What a great man. I admire all that never gave up their convictions.
Thanks for all you have done in this post. Everything is beautiful. Your photo is paramount and I do not have words to express my feelings.
António

PS: straight to my favorites.

     starbug (6924) 2006-11-04 5:35

dear Sasa. I think and i think and i think and i can't write anything original to comment on your photo, but I suppose the reason is that this one's not about thinking, but about emotions and these are the hardest to put into words. This note is by far the most moving I've read here since..perhaps the day I joined TE.It doesn't surprise me though, each of your photographs betrays the sensitivity that is so clearly visible here. I can imgine the photo being the closing scene of an award winning-film about a person like your father, with the comment read out by a narrator who is the man's daughter, the man walking deeper and deeper into the corridor...beautiful and touching.
have a good weekend
A.

Hi Sarolta,
great angle here creating tension in the photo. The notes are really helpful in setting the scene here with the body language. As you say it is your father you have portrayed this expertly. Angled shot can be gimmicky but when they work with the subject they enhance it. A good exposure control under difficult lighting conditions. I feel this photograph will always mean more to you than most.
Mark

Hello Sasa,
Beautiful words, beautiful shot. No need to add anything else. Chris

jinju (14265) 2006-11-05 4:19

Hey,

stunning shot. I was away for the 2 days you posted this one during and missed it. Well, what can be said that hasnt been said? Cming in at this point in the game is hard:) I just want to congratulate you on pulling a fantastic shot out of your hat, faced with an ordinary situation where many wouldnt even see the possibilities.

ndb1958 (9289) 2006-11-05 13:56

Hi Sasa,
a great image with a touching note. Nice how you caught the man walking there.
I like the tilt and the beautiful shades of the windows.

arindam_thokder (3987) 2006-11-06 5:38

I visited TE after a long time and found excellent PP work on your last 10 works. Really excellent work. This one is the one I like the best. The placement of the character and the tilt is great.

Ulishna (2268) 2006-11-06 10:00

Hello Sasa,
very good B&W sketch. Great light and shadows, great idea.

Hi Sasa,

Even before reading the note, it's possible to see in this shot a great a beautiful history. The lonely man, in a reflexive and humble posture, talk about a long life. It's possible to see how he is calm and comfortable in this corridor. The tilt enhances the drama. It's a photo pregnant of poetry, of feelings, of life. After reading the note, it's really touching: the calm bravery of a silent hero! Really great shot, absolutely beautiful, a truly tribute to this man, to freedom and dignity. And congratulations... to him and to you. Thank you very much, Sasa.

Angel.

devimeuxbe (58557) 2006-11-11 12:43

Hi Sarolta
You really know how to use the tilt.
You really know how to manage the light.
This picture is really a great work.
You are the professor.
For sure.
Have a nice week end

Hi Sarolta , your picture and mainly your note has touched me . You have a special instinct , skill at combining art with emotions and don t find exaggerated what Malopes commented about stamping those true flattering words . Next time i visit Hungary (me and Anette will spend some days by there next month )we won t miss to pay some visits she owes me , House of Terror ...Her family suffered the consequences of communism and the story written by you takes me to the one she told me about her Hungarian grandfather , a philanthropic scientist that despite being condemneed to lose all his propierties (both materials and intelectual ones) decided not to leave the country for some strange reasons i don t know (refusing to go/move/refugee in/to the US where he was supposed to settle and make demagoguery about theorical aspects of communism far from the battlefield , sufferings...all that enjoying warm cook without queuing and from the blackboard of a prestigious university or college taking advantage of how intelectuals like him are/were highly appreciated in non communists countries unleashing their patriotism aloud ) . Anyway i m not the right one to judge all those situations , did not suffer them , but my admiration goes to people like them . Your story has impressed me and don t have words to describe the pleasant reaction full of tenderness , cruel reality described ...in a nutshell , it is of the best i ve bumped into TE so far ...

If you're currently going through your drawers of earlier pictures from Budapest, I don't see why I can't do the same (go through your earlier photos :-).

And here I find this gem that in a sense comes from a very old drawer of your childhood.

I like the way his shadow is almost not there: it is so straight and centered in the window frame's shade, that is seems to be a part of it. Like he's timeless, not self-important, taking his fair place inside the light and inside the nature of things. A visual depiction of humility, shyly moving along the wall, away from the center.

Or the perfect portrait of an architect drawn as part of the life of a building.

It's not only your father's virtues that are praiseworthy - a daughter's admiration of her father is also a virtue getting unusual these days. And what is totally unseen is the fact that someone is able to digitalize it with the press of a button...

Thanks for sharing

Hi Sarlota. With serendipity on my side, I discovered you superb photos of the Old World. Elegant, moving, sensitive. And this one caught my eye because of the original PoV, the light and shadows creating patterns and because of the mood that permeates. And then with great interest, I read your note, until I came to the words My father. And he became my father and all the fathers who suffered and continue to suffer under regimes and petty despots. All those fathers who kept a light burning at the end of the darkest tunnels, who left their native lands with great sorrow and great hope. Yours is a tribute to all such fathers, mine included. Regards. Klaudio.
