Blog Update: Camus, Dreaming

[Rob MacKillop]

This one is about dreaming, unease, questioning...Have you ever woke up because in your dream, suddenly, someone just looked straight at you?

"Here we have a man – it could be Albert Camus, in trench coat (one can imagine the half-dead cigarette in the corner of his mouth) – staring at a female who has passed through the Entrance. Will he follow?"

To your initial question my answer is no. However, this is a very arresting fotie, Rob. It's full of mystery and foreboding. I love it!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian.

Brilliant entry Rob. I really enjoyed it. More!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete!

Great stuff Rob and in stuff, I mean everything, the thoughts, ideas and implementation. I could see you in the near future having some composite imagery exhibition at your local festival. For real.
The three obvious elements of the two figures and the sign , framed by the architecture, superb.

To your question, personally no. But a close friend did once tell me of the same experience, and the person spoke.

Very nice Rob. Your flow of thought is interesting to see and contemplate.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Many thanks, guys.

The above is just an excerpt, the blog has much more.

No!! I had enough of French existentialism while I was at school. I actually woke my husband up last night because I was having a nightmare, so I'll leave your blog to later if I may. I do love the image and the processing though

 

[Brian Moore]

Rob,...what did you use to capture the image above?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Brian, I used the Fuji XF1, but heavily edited it in Nik Silver with grain and contrast.

 

[Pete Askew]

The more I look at that image, the more it looks like a still from a film. It is definitely one of my favourites Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

One of mine too. Thanks, Pete. A huge dose of luck involved!

 

[Pete Askew]

The best ones always do. You saw it and grabbed it though so...

I enjoyed the new entry very much, Rob.
I do remember Entrance image from your previous post.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Nihat. The blog gives me a chance to revisit some old shots, place them in context.
