My World: Through the ropes...

Fahim,

It is also great to see your world as it is so different from mine. I like the sepia tone here, as if you take away a few modern elements: baseball cap and what looks like lamp posts in the background, it would be very hard to say in which era this photo would have been taken.

Maggie, it is my pleasure to show what little I can see thru my camera. You like the picture; that is enough of a reward and encouragement for me.

Thank you and my very best regards.

Every time I see your work it just keeps getting better and better!

I like this on some many levels. First the sepia tone fits well with a catch that could almost be seen as vintage. I like most the candid in this shot. It's just so natural and unconstructed. The many many ocean birds in the back ground give us a true flavor of the sea and it's men that browse there or work there. Loving those ropes in the foreground makes me want to be there.
Well done my friend!

What's so impressive and intriguing are the multiple stacked successive layers one can explore and consider as one progresses from near to far. It's not just a picture of ropes against a sky. There's business going on by folk on the boat first, then the ropes. Beyond that we have open sea and then lines of cargo and other craft seemingly vying for position in front of the other shore with birds marking the sky.

Perhaps the block building on the left skyline is a fort. This reminds me of Turkey and the Sea of Marmara but I guess this could be many other busy shipping lanes. In any case, it's a wonderful observed and shared scene, a classic!

Charlotte approves Asher's assessments!

wonderful just sayin' this is really nice art- but goes beyond us
transcends us actually- brings us together- but that is Fahim!!

This is a great piece of reportage, Fahim...
I think you have some great control over our eye with this shot too. My eyes go straight to the men and those circular objects in that part of the scene, moving up the ladder then across to those boats and back down swinging from the ropes...Nice one.

Paul, your comments are gratefully acknowledged.
Most of this is just down to kismet.

Take care.
