notes:

In the first place I named this picture “ Eye Contact “…
It was supposed to be a kind of “hymn” dedicated to an uncomfortable, bothering, sad state of mind of many human beings… Actually all Mankind represented by an innocent, simple, pure, primitive Ape… Not because the Humans would be necessarily primitive and animals! It has really nothing to do with it! But let’s say that this Ape with its primitive emotions and features is playing fantastic the role of a deep, shivering, dramatic posture, the frustrating SOLITUDE… The solitude, not only of single people, but the solitude of the lonely ones, the ones who don’t belong here, the ones who cannot adjust themselves to the reality, the ones who are living in parallel Worlds, the ones who are permanently creating dreams and charming, breathtaking situations, or just the “pictures” of it…And why not, also the solitude of the ones with all kind of handicaps and complexes- no matter if rich, or poor, ugly or beautiful, harmonious shaped or with a wooden leg and blind eye…I’m talking also about the solitude of the dead couples, where a nuclear heat would not warm ever back a frozen link…an iced chasm.
I changed my mind a while after, thinking of another title: “ Quiet Communication…”
The message would be pretty much the same, or just very sensible turned to another big issue of the Humans, the miscommunication…
“ Imagine there’s no Heaven, it’s easy if you try,
No Hell bellow us, above us only Sky…” ( was “preaching” Lennon… )
Imagine that the people would be more open and sincere and fair with themselves, imagine that there won’t be any tricks, nor selfishness or lies or hidden secrets, no boundaries, no limits, no exceptions… Imagine that it would exist a Magic Password : QUIET COMMUNICATION .
Something like the one expressed by the little Ape…

you talk about solitude... about the ones that always feel they dont belong here, about parallel worlds we have to create to bear the real one... maybe we are doing that, commenting and reading yuor notes, taking shots, and creating that paralel world with our images.. and we are communicating, also.
those ape's eyes are a good example... they say a lot..
great words, great photo
