Good picture
One more week, your “efforts” are worth it. And I put in quotes because I believe that for those of us who love this art, photographing requires no effort, yet we greatly appreciate your participation and enthusiasm every week.of your wonderful images, I leave you with this gallery full of lonely and lonely souls that roam different corners of the world in search of something that perhaps even themselves do not know, lost among the vast landscapes that envelop them or isolated in everyday life.of their homes, but alone, always alone:
The image that has most impacted me this week is “Urban Anguish” by Mabel Thwaites Rey and if so, it is precisely because of the anguish it conveys, as the title indicates. . This is the impact I asked you to have by launching the challenge. A person who felt the weight of an unwanted loneliness. The man at the bottom of the image reinforces this feeling, because it is more painful to feel alone in company than to be alone out of desire. This involuntary isolation, either by her own barriers or by social marginalization, is what causes anguish, sadness, despair, and this woman’s face says it loud and clear. His hunched posture, his downcast gaze, the cigar? all his body language expresses anguish. Even the glasses on the table reinforce the feeling of isolation, because there comes a point where if they don’t see you, you don’t want to see either, it’s a vicious circle in which loneliness calls for loneliness, outside and inside. , producing an inner tear that gets bigger and bigger and it surprises you how this lady has been trapped, in the solitude of her coffee and her cigarette. On the terrace, on the line that separates the hustle and bustle of the urban terrain where pedestrians pass indifferently. And in black and white, because in the darkness of solitude there are no colors. Well done Mabel, you knew how to convey the urban anguish of your title, with a beautiful composition and above all with a good story to tell.
