I spotted this man walking through the heavy snow with a rather depressed looking walk. The image was later processed into black and white with some noise and a vignette added. I don’t like to edit this much, but gave it a shot anyway.
First weekly picture in a project «52 pictures» (it needs a proper name), where one picture is published every week for the whole. 365 next year?
You can find more info on this project on Geir Ertsgaard first contribution The Dark Season.
The wrapup: Each week we will publish one image taken in the same week. Each week we will have a new subject/theme/keyword. This weeks theme was «Darkness». At least, that is my interpretation of the norwegian word «mørke».
Likte det!
Thank you!
Ved første øyekast var jeg usikker på om bildet traff meg. Men etter å ha kikket litt mer, «vokser» det. Enig med deg i at mannens positur ser noe «tynget» ut, som om han var i et indre mørke. Og stemningen i bildet, gråtone og støy, forsterket opplevelsen av mørke. Både rent fysisk i bildet og i sinnsstemning.

At first glance I was unsure if the image caught my interest. But after looking a little more, it «grows». I agree with you that the man’s pose looks somewhat «overwhelmed», as if he was in an inner darkness. And the mood of the picture, grayscale and noise, enhanced the experience of darkness. Both physically in the image and in mood.

Thank you, Ståle. This is not a typical image from me.
I like the photo. It has an air of mystery to it. I don’t like editing much as well but the choice to add vignette and noise was accurate on this one.
Thank you, Horacio. I really enjoy the pics on your site as well. I’m now subscribing to your feed.
