B&W Photo Contest: Nostalgia - #2 Youth
We can usually relate our nostalgia to certain places, people or events. This type of nostalgia has one trait. Sometimes it can be relived or re-experienced to some extent. You can visit a certain place like i was talking about in my last entry to this contest.
I came to think of a different sort of nostalgia however. One that can not be relived by no known means. It is nostalgia of TIME.

I took this photograph at one of the wedding i was shooting, that i think in a way illustrates it. We would all like to be younger. Well except for those young ones who strangely want to be older :) And i believe each of us who are older have experienced nostalgia for young days at some point.
Follow @bescouted if you like my stuff.

A strong picture indeed... And a little bitter sweet... Who doesn't reminisce about their youth, perhaps some more than others. But not irritating, I can't find that in me...
Great depiction of contrasts, David - in age and dark & light - one basking in the sunshine, blurred as in memories of days gone by... the other in the twilight of life, but here and now.
As an aside: I wish we could adjust our thumbnails; I would push this pic higher up... sighhh
Well i believe they will make more improvements in the future. It is Beta :)
I know... can't wait! :)
Me too :)
Well you can really notice the details and put them into nice words. I wish i had mo SP to give your comment more value :) Not now, but i will :) Thank you @ackhoo :)
Thank you, David!
Hmmm, I must have missed this reply from you; didn't get a notification... Just seen it! Hope you're keeping well Have a great week ahead!
I'm cool :) visiting my parents and mi mining rig is running hot is at my apartment in different city :) So i am cool. Literally :)
What a strong picture! Hope you don't mind me saying, that its also slightly irritating... it touches me at the core of my being and I'm sure many others may feel this way too.
Yes, once you look back on a few decades of your own life, youth gets a different value. One you don't see, when you are young, while you think it lasts forever... but it obviously does not and when you look back, you wonder how all the years could have gone by so fast...
You can say whatever you like under any of my posts. I am not agnostic and always interested in different opinions than mine, as then i can learn something new not just digest myself.
Yes it is strange, merely blink of an eye when you look from current perspective. In is a reversed exponential. Aging from 5 to 10 is twice the lifetime. And aging from 45 to 50 is merely a fraction. This might give the impression that things are not changing that fast anymore, hence gives a feeling of emptiness of some sort. Just a theory that came to my head after reading your comment. And thank you for your compliments :)
beautiful find :-)
Thanks Victor :)

Oh, i remember you, I've seen you before @lighteye Not sure if we have engaged into prolonged conversation yet, though. But it's an easy fix, as i was following your other account too. I will definitely explore your link.
Thank you @bescouted.
I adore this. Been looking at it for the last few minutes! I see some commentators have already pointed out all the things that are great about this image, so I won't go into it again!
Suffice to say, I am always on the lookout for contrasts like this to photograph, as I think a strong contrast really brings the story out in a photo. :)
Sadly they are quite a rare animal. Strangers do not converse that much anymore and many conditions have to met to get a random story without a posing like this that involves totally random people interacting each other in the public. And thank you :)
