H-K212
Near the wall of a house painted
to look like stone,
I saw visions of God.
A sleepless night that gives others a headache
gave me flowers
opening beautifully inside my brain.
And he who was lost like a dog
will be found like a human being
and brought back home again.
Love is not the last room: there are others
after it, the whole length of the corridor
that has no end.
(Yehuda Amichai)

i adore these words:
A sleepless night that gives others a headache
gave me flowers
opening beautifully inside my brain.
can totally relate
And he who was lost like a dog
will be found like a human being
and brought back home again.
and do hold this promise!!
♥t
hsien-ku replied
thankyou gabryshak!
those lines give me goosebumps:
“And he who was lost like a dog
will be found like a human being
and brought back home again.”
A promise to cling to, like you say
dkspecial
You don’t need me to tell you how good this is but I like the way you have filled the frame. Compelling composition.

Anne McGinn
amazing – he looks like what I think a Gypsy would look like….. he has a certain rough elegance about him… and a lot of self-assurance. This is just marvelous, I mean, that atrium, his white hat, all the play between dark and light…. and the poem caused my heart to stop and then flood open, so beautiful, Judith.
hsien-ku replied
thankyou anne – such wonderful compliments in your comment, i hardly know how to respond. very grateful.

thanks so much peta – this photo hasn’t been up for all that long actually.
Xavier Sieckme...
great stuff, used a flash?
hsien-ku replied
thanks xavier – no flash, with my canon the flash seems to strip out all the tone so i avoid using it where possible. the shot was actually a lot lighter but i increased the gamma in postproduction.

This is a sensational image.
Quarryhill
I have really enjoyed both the images and the poetry here. Especially the rich tonal qualities of you photographs. Well done ! You are now on my watchlist.
maxsz
Very good image with excelent ambiental light and emphatic person.
newyorknancy
Wonderful mood. Awesome!
Imber
This is tooooo good!
Peter Maeck
Is this man relaxing or brooding in this strange greenhouse? Your picture poses a teasing question and refuses to do more than that, which is why the picture is so intriguing and starkly appealing. I love this kind of seemingly harsh but actually very humane imagery. The ambiguity just heightens the interest. Fine work.
Nedim Bosnic
this is masterpiece
Simon Whittaker
This is just superb, I realise that I am not the first to say this but I hope that the praise you will continue to get for this warms your heart.
Kudos.
Michael Cuneo
wow
BrookeJanis
Great B&W image
Jewd
What a brilliant shot your work has a classic french feel, a bit like the photographer Robert Doisneau’s work…
mmargot
This reminds me of Tennessee Williams and the French Quarter in New Orleans…
...that’s just first glance – after that one is overwhelmed by your beautiful work.
