I like it for the three people 'looking' in different places with eyes closed, and for them seeming very tired.

Wonderfully seen and photographed.

The vibrant color and the composition make it impossible not to click on the thumbnail.

telenous · Feb 4, 2008

I can't place the shot from the precious little info (a distant sign) in the frame but the photo vibrates with the authenticity of location and an urgency in the gaze of the young lad. It really does remind me of where I come from, a place long lost in time.
- Konya, Yamanson

Very Nouvelle Vague. In mood, title, and even in the quite explicit cinematic reference.
- Marie toute seule, Pitxu
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=78741&cat=all&limit=last7

I sense a deliberate playfulness in the description and the photo itself, which is all the more tantalizing as one cannot actually be sure. Brilliant (possibly).
- MyHope, sparks12kv

Wonderfully graphic image, it pulsates with a strong abstract symbolism of reiterated shapes and fragmented words.

and one more, along the same lines as above.

Pitxu: In The Dolls House

What to say about this picture?

When I first noticed the thumbnail I was drawn to it by the muted colours, I was reminded of those early 20th century autochromes. On opening the photo this first impression wasn’t immediately dispelled, the antiquarian theme continued and what came to mind was the interior of a Victorian cabinet of curiosities. However, as I continued to look at it, it became obvious that this wasn’t the case and it was a modern photograph of old dolls on a shelf, but there seemed to be more.

The longer I looked at it the more unsettled I became… something about the way the two halves of the photograph clash. The dolls on the upper shelf being oblivious to what lies beneath them, appearing to idly go about their business with no knowledge of the figure trapped below. Her dishevelled clothing brought to mind recent events in Portugal, and what may lie there when all is finally resolved.

Then there is the disembodied head on the top shelf… and that foot. What’s going on here?

I returned to this photograph several times during the week and finally took a hard copy today to spend some serious time looking at it in order to understand just what it is that bothers me so much about it. I can’t fathom it but will continue to come back to it until I can understand why I am affected so much by a simple photo of dolls in a cupboard in a junk shop.

It is the most interesting photograph I have seen to date on this site.

My five year old daughter picked up the print earlier; I asked her what she thought about it. She held it up, rotated it through 90 degrees into “landscape” orientation and said, “It’s mummy listening at the door to see if all the babies are asleep.” She’s much healthier than me.

Pitxu, you done my brain in!

He taped a camera low down on the front of the car, attached a cable release and drove on the highway.
