portraits: discussion

[Wolfgang Plattner]

Hi,

they didn't take care of me taking the pictures, they were too much concentrated on their topics ...

​

... and to be sure, they refer back to the experience of the older one ...

[Asher Kelman]

They find beauty in the commentaries by sages of words in the scriptures. Every grammatical nuance has meanings for which there are references and related stories, some humorous. The extent of knowledge is often encyclopedic and the works and scholarship of major schools of thought are discussed with the same joy as new moves in a champion chess game by masters.

But they could be talking instead, (or also), about the quality of the food in a new glatt-kosher restaurant or the coming marriage of some offspring!

Hi, Asher,

They find beauty in the commentaries by sages of words in the scriptures. Every grammatical nuance has meanings for which there are references and related stories, some humorous. The extent of knowledge is often encyclopedic and the works and scholarship of major schools of thought are discussed with the same joy as new moves in a champion chess game by masters.

But they could be talking instead, (or also), about the quality of the food in a new glatt-kosher restaurant or the coming marriage of some offspring!

I very much enjoyed this commentary on the conversation we might imagine among the two (later three) Jews in this wonderful street photography series.

The discussion of grammatical nuances especially resonated with me, for you know I take a semantic view of almost everything!

Best regards,

Doug
