I agree - Klaus’ pigeons in such a strongly graphic setting are outstanding!

Thank you, stray cat and hill avoider.  The original picture was quite boring--so I played a bit with the frame and found this cropping adequate. No HCB here.

Rog, Albrecht would be proud of you. Very convincing  and an amazing  depth.

My apologies if I've posted this before. The quality of this lens, which has thorium in the glass that has discoloured the lens elements to tawny, is ridiculous (clicking on the picture will enable you to view it slightly better, but the original scan is considerably better):

a really good shot. Have to get my new old F1n out if that is, what it delivers.🙄

Nothingness is tricky. In absolute nothingness, there would not be a photograph. Given relative nothingness, one would either look at the hole or the sock or see that the hole is where the sock is not. Like in the case of an in-between. The issue is the something. In other words, time and space :)

relative nothingness, absolute nothingness... I feel we are embarking on an interesting discussion here..😉

Very authentic, Wayne.  like a memory or a dream condensating into a picture.

Love this, Klaus - a little Elliott Erwitt, but a refreshing reinterpretation of the "vigilant statue" theme. Not sure what the statue in the background is doing, but it seems to be keeping the foreground statue interested. A Night in this Museum would certainly be interesting!

Rog, your lift series has elevated your work to dizzying levels. We’re on the 99th floor. Next stop - through the roof!

I always appreciate your comments on the thread, which invariably sends me down a less traveled aisle of the library. Your cinematic wit always keeps things lively, such as your take on Klaus's Night in This Museum, prompting the imagination to construct a life that only the imagination can give life. As for my Lift series,  I'll keep working on the "gravity" of it all, trying to use images of allusion to explore what's absent.

I have always been intrigued by Antonioni's editing that shows a character leaving a room, but rather than cutting to another angle or scene, he holds on the "nothingness" of the vacant space for several very long beats, which is anything but nothingness because our imagination continues to play out the possibilities of that empty space. 

For me in my little series, "lift" is simultaneously a noun and a verb. and married to the images, ambiguous. What is the interior life of a lift? Do you need a lift? Is it transportation or emotion? Is it motion, itself? Where does the play of gravity come into it? What is the allusion, the unseen but implied? And so, the analog record player continues to scratch along its well-worn vinyl grooves.

Very captivating. At first glance the background seemed to be a roman theatre, probably the fault of the stairs on the lower left. The face with the warm flesh tones nicely contrasting. What film/lens/camera did you use?

Rog, there's a definitely new quality to the works of your "lift" series. I'm not yet there, but it works on my subconscious. I´m coming back.

Thank you Phil for your comment. My impulse was- you are right- triggered by the interaction of the two sculptures and I didn't think too much about it. It is only now--I went back to my books, that I learned more about the history of these sculptures: Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881-1919)  made the "female torso" in 1910. The "fallen man" is from 1915/16  and connected to  the artists devastating experiences as a paramedic in a war hospital in Berlin.  Wilhelm Lehmbruck´s works were among the pieces of the infamous show "Degenerate Art" the Nazis staged in 1937  to denounce a lot of modern artists. 

So thank you for sending me back to the history of these sculptures... btw; if in Munich, swap the Hofbräuhaus for the "Pinakothek der Moderne"--it´s a perfect wrap up of modern art with a  collection worthwhile your time.

Asam Church,  Munich. The church is considered to be  one of the most important examples of " late baroque" in Southern Germany.

Thank you Klaus - one day it would be my dream to visit Munich again. I don't think I'd need much convincing to avoid the Hofbräuhaus next time - I left a lifetime's supply of brain cells there and thereabouts back in 1980 - but the Pinakothek der Moderne has definitely jumped to the top of my list - your pictures illustrate exactly why.

Well, maybe one stein wouldn't hurt...
