Collaboration with amazing friends and beautiful strangers – part-iv.
I’m still alive and feeling well during this race for survival, in which we were involved by the bad combination of the “right place” and “right time”. The stress of the situation is still here, but it’s become less sharp in its destructive impact, due to the advantages and disadvantages of the ability of people to get accustomed to EVERY kind of stressful life conditions. I had already stopped falling asleep with the feeling that this was the last day of my life. The reason for this was my decision to stay as far as possible from the poisoning media and news. Some people made their lives a constant watching of the “Big Brother” reality show. I prefer to get some fast and short digest at the end of every day instead of being connected to the media-morphine, day and night dripping into diseased and swollen veins.
Some time ago I published a permanent page about my participation as a Behind The Scenes (BTS) photographer in the filming of The House on Fin Street movie.
Right now access to this page is available with this link and not from the menu of my site. I have to rebuild and add a lot of additional documentary materials from the filming scenes and the underground Rock’n’Roll stages. It will take some time but finally will happen soon. Stay tuned and check my next blog posts for the news and links.Here is the reminder to watch my slideshow with the photographs from the recently “Photo Zine”. Click on this Youtube video below for the preview. Also, every image of this post as usual available for on-demand printing in different types of finishing by your request.
These are so beautiful with bit of joyful ( shynesses) so good Victor 🔥🔥✨✨
Thank you Naomi 😉 Glad to hear from you
Always glad to see you’re doing well; good strat — the media is definitely poison.
I love these portraits… I couldn’t stop wondering what else was going on that plate with that rice!
Cheers, mate!
Hey Matt. Thank you for the kind words my friend. I took this one in the Indian restaurant when my son worked some time ago. This is the place owners preparing the Thali plate with all the accessories of the original tasty food.
this type of pictures throws me back to the past when we discussed street portraiture and found our own respectful way of doing it. i cannot praise the benefits enough of how the difference between strangers and friends vanishes by doing it like this. and we all suffer for love, respect, inclusion and a smile from a stranger without asking who and where from these days so badly. your words touched me very deeply again, as always. and i often think of your advice of staying away from media and cannot decide if it‘s suitable for me or not. but i feel as you do the toxic influence and the depression and anxiety caused by the constant news coming in. the world goes down the drain literally. and while you exhaustingly stopped to be in constant fear of living the last day i started to think every night of where to go when happens what seems more and more likely to happen here, in germany. three months ago i provided you shelter any time but meanwhile we dicuss leaving the country by ourselves. insane. stay strong, keep smiling. love you. and very much hope we see each other again very soon.
Huge thank you for the kind Trillian! I love shooting portraits of strangers when i know that they know about my attention to them. With asking or without. Some of them prefer to look at me during the process, some of them prefer to stay in the same candid pose as i found them. Like this guy with the coffee cups on the table near him. I photographed him last weekend on the road not too far from my village.
About your thoughts about moving from Germany. You killed me now. Love you all my friends.
Fabulous and soulful Victor
