pEEKABOO

Posted by NADINE DERUYCK (KLUISBERGEN, Belgium) on 2 February 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.

Some pieces of art were shown in the streets of Ghent,
and some were curious ....
If you ask me what was in the boxes, i'd say : i don't know... i only saw this picture....
I'm afraid the woman did not see me ......

@djedfre: thanks

Alina Livia Lazăr from Leigh, United Kingdom

Oops, definitely she did not see you! But this is the idea, isn't it? I would have also try it from a different angle, so that to boxes to become visible too, but I think that this is great too, it adds some mystery to the whole scene! Congrats!

@Alina Livia Lazăr: well actually i have other versions of this series which are better in colour, i have a pic with 3 persons in a row looking at 3 boxes....in a row.... perhaps for a challenge in colour;...

zahai from Berlin, Germany

Beautifully captured. It's good to see people still show some interest in art ;)

@zahai: Indee, and actuallY i was also a peekaboo...

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Good candid shot and good b/w. It's very interesting that behind the piece of arte (I suppose) there is a big graffitti as another kind of urban art.

@Paco Díaz: Indeed...so much mure evident in colour of course, but nevertheless made it B and W

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

An image full of textures and interest ... without your explanation, one's imagination could come up with a limitless list of possibilities for this pose/posture ... ron

@Ron: that's right for sure.... Both she and i were watching....and even more...There could have been another photographer behind me too.... ???

Rags from Plano, United States

I like the concept of this image. You looking into a box to make this image, and she looking into a box.

@Rags: that's what we all do taking pics...isn't it...

k@ from France

He!He! You were waiting for your turn and I was behind you waiting for the same pic but with you in front :)) Great & smiling, thanks*

Bertrand Duhamel from Granby, Canada

Nicely captured ! Vignetting was a cleaver choice for your processing. Looks like you're peeking too ! ;o))
Thanks for the comments you left on my Pbase gallery. It is greatly appreciated :o)

Anoniem from Netherlands

Een plaat die je erg nieuwsgierig maakt. Hoe meer je kijkt hoe meer je het wilt weten. Goed gedaan.

Olivier Jules from Lanciano, Italy

Pixim from Nice, France

It is brilliant, a merry and interesting photographic inspiration. I await the post impatiently of k@… the post-processing very quite carried out and is so well adapted to this photo flight ;)
