Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #279 'A Lady And Her Flowers'
'A Lady And Her Flowers'
Wondering what old walls and shabby windows hide behind them is a food for wonderous thought. We are seldom aware of what happens behind the closed doors. I don't suggest being nosey about others' business. Not at all. For me, wondering about various things opens a vast ocean of imagination and I simply like swimming in it.
When I stopped to take a picture, a lady came up to me and asked why was I interested in her flowers? A few seconds before this happened, I've photographed her as she observed me taking the picture of the building. I had no idea she was living up there. The picture with her in the frame adds substantial meaning to it. If she had not approached me, I'd never known it was the case. What a moment, eh?
An interesting curved shadow halves the house and creates change in the perceived tonality of bricks. There is a blue accent jumping out of the predominantly washed out warm hue. It represents the cold side of the spectrum and sides with a little bit of green on top of the image. The shapes of the falling facade cover successfully underline the age and show decay. The darkest element in this image, the dark roofline is arched over the windows, conveying a rather heavy feeling.
It is a realistic photograph, depicting social issues and human's wish to thrive, regardless of the circumstances. The windows are in a bad shape, the flowers are dead, the satellite dish is rusted. The building place is close to being ripe for demolition but the lady still wears decent clothes, talks gently and remains above the adverse circumstances.
I leave the rest up to your imagination.
Enjoy! :)

You have captured age and intrigue all at the same time. This house looks old and somewhat decrepit but it likely holds a centuries worth of history and stories. Who knows what has happened both inside and outside that home. What might have hung from those windows 100 years ago? I think of a house I worked in once. It looked like it was so old and falling apart on the outside but on the inside, it was renovated. It was clean and modern and perfect. The owners kept the outside as it was because of the historical look to it.
It's really a realistic picture. It expresses people's desire to social problems and enthusiasm. The windows are in a bad shape, flowers are dead, satellite dishes have become sand. Though the building is old, your photo has increased a lot due to the beauty. Maybe she has many memories in this old building.
In this photo I see a human desire for life. People tend to create better conditions, even if they live in poor conditions. People decorate and create a pristine atmosphere, not even in the most pleasant place.
I often come across this. I pass by old and razushennyh buildings and see them in the light. I see that, despite their weak financial position, some people are striving for the better. It's good to see. I would describe it as a plant that breaks through the asphalt. This plant tends to light. For the better. Like all of us (almost).
Wonderful photo. You have focused our attention on such a remarkable phenomenon. Striving for the better, the desire to decorate your own life. Thank you!
It was a realistic photograph, yeah it was and best part was the way you looked that. Even that lady didn't find out anything special in her house but that was a lot of meaningful things to you. I don't know how you can see them in different way even there is nothing special you make them special and explain in polite way. You're really great sir and one thing i always appreciate about your pure artistic mind. Cheers ! Have a good day.
Yes, indeed, there is much to think about. Although all the old houses are of interest to me. It is the old houses that have behind them something mysterious, some history, even their own character. And this house is no exception. Perhaps this lady does not want to restore the house, maybe he reminds her of something, some story. Yes, there definitely is something to think about ...
As we already know, social interaction is divided into two, namely social associative and dissociative social.
Social interactions that are associative can cause normal social symptoms. The result is regularity in social life. While social interaction is dissociative can give abnormal social symptoms (pathological), social instability (disintegration) social.
In sociology, social phenomena are called social problems. Social problems occur because there are elements that do not exist in the environment that allows for people who are not normal, difficulty in the time required. In the end, the social problems that occur in real life (das sein) do not go according to expectations (das soillen) in social life.
Excellent your way of giving life to the opaque.
Very beautiful your way to take photos of different sites, something unpredictable to see this, the real pictures of something simple, also that lady would be scared to think who would be that person and would take those pictures near your home I guess hehehe, greetings.
how do you do it? How do you know that the place, the object, the person will become a fascinating photograph? the truth you have me extremely surprised with your qualities for photography in such ordinary places
so what have you told her about taking the picture!
Have you told her about steemit?
If not? then sad :(
You should have told her about this wonderful platform,
It could be a life-changing moment for her!
She may have many things to share with us, her life could be an example for us to follow :)
Hopefully you are getting the massage i'm trying to convay to you :)
