Thanks ! I know Titarenko's photos well from a report in TV, found more of him here:

http://www.lensculture.com/titarenko.html

even stronger:

http://www.lensculture.com/titarenko_cuba.html

and was fascinated ! Of course my photos are strongly influenced by his ideas, which I have considered as a solution which I had searched for quite a while. To cut thicker slices of time, so to speak.

My photo here belongs to an experimental series which I made to get familiar with the long and multiple exposure conditions, thus preparing another series of topographical photos which was intended to included this sort of technique.

Topographical is what I have concentrated on now ( "New Topographics", Baltz, Shore etc) and my photos always exclude people completely, Atget-like. Example:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/46098246@N00/2317753158/

But in some cases i felt people would improve the photo , make them more vivid in a way. They should not disturb the spectators concentration on the place itself tho, nor should they destroy the timeless look and feel, and Titarenko's style to me seemed to be the ideal solution for that.

This is what comes next, after I have finished the current project.

Regards,
bertram

His igea... How i can see it - our social life like a "perpetm moble". And a moving of life, human memory erase individual fases. But this is very bad think when we became like a ruck, like a crowd, when we lost a face of each of us.
His pictures ia a protest against it.
.
Photography itself this is a struggle between documentary and personal vision of photographers. What exactly photographer wants to say (not to show). What is a photographer's message to us.
- just - Hey you, look at the picture, I was there.
- or - What I felt when I saw that and how I have seen that.
In my opinion balance between these two goals when we press the button is a real photography.
Thanks,
Gene

Don't know if you noticed the interviews downloads offered at lensculture, Titarenko himself speaks about his intentions.

For me this style is a way to express the idea of volatlity of the human existence, often as a contrast to the places and buildings human beeings create and which last for hundreds or even thousands of years.
