Nice dark moody capture Deb. Excellent DOF also.

JLHopgood, 2 months ago

It’s very good again, very powerful images (no pun intended considering the content of this image)

I’m going to get your book at some point but will have to wait until my next allowance!!!

plus you’ve given me an idea for a picture! Ta!

And the yet further increasing look of boredom (if it is even more possible) on Abe’s face. (There must be talk of trips to see pandas at the zoo or milkeshakes to keep him modelling for you in these environments!)

A fitting addition to the image. I’ve always found powerlines to make great photographic subjects at times. What some consider an eyesore, they do transport one of the most used commodities in modern times. Leaving any environmental issues to one side (as this is not the place – i’m adding a comment on the artwork) this conjures up images of power and progress.

The mayhem of overlapping cables removes from the otherwise neatness in composition and symmetary of the shot and the usual great depth leads to a blurring of the world behind.

On a side note, with all that electricity around, it’s a good job Abe wasn’t carrying a balloon as his hair would have gone mental!

I think Stuart summed it up nicely…so ditto to his comment. (I know that’s lazy…but it’s getting late here…way past my bedtime!)

an urban gem – you really do have the gift

The tv lines are buzzing, so is the subjects brain, we all tear around thanks to industry. Even though we can tear around, I don’t think we were meant to….. now. Great work of art Deb. Great performance Abe.

The production of electricity…...possibly THE most polluting process on the planet….....the power station on the Trent near where I live burns a mountain of coal that is a mile around its circumfrence almost every 6 weeks…..I like the dark bags under Abes eyes as if he is being kept awake by the constant thrumb of electricity as it travels through the cables to power his nightlight…..or his nintendo!

Love the shadow over his eyes- like he’s frightened to look into the future! Very strong superbly composed shot

Arnold Isbister, 2 months ago

an eerie portrait of the future; psychologically provocative.

JudyBJ, 2 months ago

Great composition and emition and very nice B&W

Martin Derksema, 2 months ago

Urbanization seems to do not much good for the quality of life in your coastal areas. I love the atmosphere in this picture. He looks as if he is lost in an environment that is not at all suitable for children. The high voltage power cables emphesize the feeling of bad vibrations and chaos. Gee, you did this so well. You are getting better and better with these contrasts between people and environment.

Pal Gyomai, 2 months ago

Perfect!!!!

Deidre Cripwell, 2 months ago

Love the treatment

Lam Tran, 2 months ago

Excellent capture! Lovely image!

prisoner, 2 months ago

This little boy seems somewhat of a Ghost as though from the Future, the mood and feel of this image gives me a sense of gloom, like a Chronicles of warning.

Gary Trounson, 2 months ago

Love the expression or lack of it…...G.T…..>>>>>

David Parkin, 2 months ago

Basia McAuley, 2 months ago

Perfect as always Deb! Excellent comp, depth tone and mood.. Love it!

ECGardner, 2 months ago

Awesome piece, Deb, and one that definitely makes a statement. His expression goes with the idea of the image perfectly.

Ken Mucke, 2 months ago

Hey Deb…I could have sworn I already commented on this one….But this whole series you are doing for your school is really amazing….The subject matter you chose if perfect////dealing with industrialization and youth….The deep tones really have set the mood for this shot and series…and the kid you chose is perfect….his expressionless manner really speaks volumes to this plight….The series really raises many question we have for our youth and what we will leave behind for them…This is realy brilliant work Deb…so very powerful and dramatic and makes you have to really think of the future for them…BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RSart, 2 months ago

brilliant work Deborah… the back ground and his blank expression is what makes this so appealing and makes one look deeper and think

Mimiq, 2 months ago

Love it!!! I always try and make it so you can see the subjects eyes, you have broken the rules here brilliantly.

david malcolmson, 2 months ago

No wonder he looks so sombre. This is another wonderful addition to your photo-essay. Away from the assignment requirements this stands on its own as an eloquent social comment..

Paul Tupman, 2 months ago

I love this shot Deb.. I’ve just been staring at it for ages, completely captivated by Abes expression.. or I guess that you could say lack of… The kids of today really are born into a worls of power and technology.. its a sad fact that the beautiful parts of out land are disappearing.. some at an alarming rate!
The processing in this is once again wonderful.. The DoF is spot on, giving Abe the centre of attention.. and wow, you’ve gotta love the light in this.. the light in Abes hair and shadows on his gface are both brilliant.. Love it!

little Billy knew that standing under pylons resulted in a certain amount of ionisation and static build up but since his mother refused to cut his hair this was the only way he knew to get his hair out of his eyes.

Andromedae, 2 months ago

Yes, wonderful thought provoking series. Urban playground, Industry – where are all those sandpits, butterflies and happy childhood? And what will be there in a few years time? And do we want to do something about it? Great work!

docophoto, 2 months ago

How did I miss this.
So ominous, even sinister. His hooded eyes give nothing away, but the tension in this cheeks speak volumes. Very powerful photograph.

Jeff Burns, 2 months ago
