About Just for a change, something different from my usual work.
This is the first of a series of holiday photos in B&W and high contrast.
All of them were taken in Sardinia, on a 6 km gorgeous beach called Portopino.
Sardinia is one of the three largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
The series is dedicated to my UF friends and to all the people who, with all respect, don?t like
whatever is different from the ?normal? photographic work.
Thanks for looking. ? Emgy

Mi piacciono le persone che cambiano, che provano altre strade, insomma che si mettono sempre in gioco... Questa immagine è bellissima Emgy, essenzile ma molto affascinante, sono quasi spariti i grigi e quello che resta racconta quello che serve, senza niente di più, di superfluo, sembra quasi un disegno a carboncino, perfetto per ritrarre un giovane artista!! Baci Max

I'm glad you like it

Hi Diana. Heel erg bedankt.
Je hebt gelijk. Een hoog contrast werkt niet goed bij alle fotos. Met deze serie heb ik best wel moeite gehad bij het vinden van een tweede die met hoog contrast redelijk uitziet en die me goed bevalt.
Roken? Wonderbaarlijk genoeg lukt het me nog steeds om er vanaf te blijven. Toch zijn er nog, af en toe, verleidelijke momenten en situaties waar ik het moeilijk mee heb.
Groetjes - Emgy

Emgy Massidda Emgy Massidda   {K:60358} 9/14/2004
Hi Tim
Thanks for commenting and for being sincere about your thoughts.
The idea behind this shot is explained in what follows:
The kid on the beach attracted my attention cause she was completely taken by her drawing on the sand in a way that seemed to me somewhat unusual. You know how kids generally get curious about camera?s and like to be photographed. This little girl seemed different. Her mother called her a couple of times to draw her attention to the fact that she was being photographed but in no way she would be distracted by anything happening around her. It was as if she wasn?t there but in a completely different place and time where only she and her creation were the only important things. I have no ideas of what she thought she was drawing but I ?m sure it was something she found interesting and exciting. It?s this moment in ?her world? that I?ve tried to give an idea of by eliminating distracting elements like colour, sea water and sand. The use of high contrast made it possible to leave only the kid and her art work in the image. Maybe not a big deal to many, but I like this version of the photo. Likes and dislikes are always very subjective, particularly on personal style work so?. it didn?t surprise me that you don?t like it, Tim.
Best regards - Emgy

Hallo Emgy,
Heel artistiek gedaan! Ik hou wel van een beetje creativiteit en het sterke contrast in deze foto komt heel goed tot zijn recht. Sommige foto's lenen zich hier gewoon niet echt voor maar deze wel. Ook op het Amelandse strand heb ik veel kinderen dit zien doen... tekenen in het zand (wie heeft het niet ooit gedaan?).
Mooie compositie en een krachtig plaatje!
groetjes,
Diana.
(PS... hoe is het met het niet-roken???)

Tim Bronkhorst   {K:9391} 9/14/2004
It's fun. I think it's very important to stay open for new things, otherwise photographie it self won't be able to move forward anytime. But a big problem whit new art is taste, people don't like a lot of things that are new. I'am sorry, although I have a artistic background from my school, I can't say I like this. But I have to acmid there is something in the high contrast area. Maybe you'll have to explain your thoughts by this picture.
Greets Tim.

Mille grazie, Maria Grazia.
Sono contenta che ti piaccia questa mia elaborazione. Cio'che mi ha mosso a cambiare questa foto e'il fatto che la bimba che disegnava sulla spiaggia era incredibilmente immersa nel suo lavoro tanto che non ha sentito le ripetute chiamate della mamma per farle notare che io la stavo fotografando. Era come se fosse in un mondo tutto suo e ho voluto darne un'idea eliminando il piu'possibile gli elementi di distrazione della foto originale. Lasciare solo la bimba e le linee che stava creando mi e' sembrata una buona idea
Un caro saluto - Emgy

Thank you Robert. You know, after I decided to do this in high contrast I also decided that I wanted to do a series with the same effect but, much to my surprise it took me quite a time to find the right pics that would suit this one. Apparently, the high-key effect doesn't work well with all types of photos. Something new I have learned experimenting. But....it was fun!

There is no law against using the same photo more than once, So I use this one to thank you for your generous comments on my "Variatin 1" and my "Theme" and unless by that time you have posted another photo, I might use it again in case you comment on a further variation, hopefully to be posted tonight.
Love,

Color disguises children..........black & white exposes them. I?m with William Golding on children........they?re savages. This picture screams ?Lord of the Flies? to me. And the symbols they scar the sand with?........ are they coherent?....what do they mean? They can?t be fully seen from ground level, only from high in the air......they must be secret messages to the barking sky god. Good to keep these children in schools....separated ... otherwise they?d band up and rove the world, destroying civilization as we know it.

Emgy, a poignant image! Strikingly unusual, and one of your best!!

Dr. Rafael Springmann Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:89517} 9/10/2004
Finally, dear Emgy! I was waiting and waing and then a surprise! What you do with a B&W sketch cannot be done by many others with full colors. I'm glad you changed the photo to B&W, it's much more dramatic this way.
Thank you for your comprehasinve analysis of my "Variation 2". As to prefering it to the other ones, each person has his or her own preferences. I see the whole series as a unit in which, like in music, a theme developes into variations.
Love,
Rafi
