Description for ~guost who likes to see people's backs.

for a split second (i was walking with ~oye to the bridge where he took photos of me) i enjoyed the similarity of their clothes, the dark tree, the womans hands.
i know it might not be "interesting" to most of you, i don't know. i like simple things.

Someone can think these photos are weird, but they surely have something mysterious behind them. This elderly couple makes this scene so peaceful... I don't know. It's like a stopped moment? Moreover, I totally admire all elderly couples. When you see a couple in this age, still shares the feeling of love; it's one of the most positive things in this world, at least for me And when I look at them, I imagine he could be a painter, she could be a school teacher, they both valued the art and liked to drink an evening tea...

It's comforting to know that two would share a nigh untouchable bond with one another. Your best friend would be there at your side 'til their end of time.

This photo really seems to capture that for me.

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. feature ! congrats!
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! xoxo Sandi oxo

ça me rappelle je ne sais quel film de quand j'étais petit... surement pas un grand chef d'oeuvre.. le genre de film qui passe aux alentour de noel.
bah moi ce film je l'aimais bien, parce que c'était un couple de l'age de mes grands parent, qui faisaient plein de conneries.. et ça me faisait bcp rire.
Je crois que c'est cette posture, si.. comment dire.. en attente..
J'espere que ce n'est pas des gens de ta famille, mais ça me donne l'impression qu'ils attendent tout les deux, que la mort les fauche ensemble.. les bras tombant qui ne montrent aucun signe d'anxiété. Ils paraissent juste fatigués, mais heureux.

un mot pour les anglophones : good shot

Older couples are always very encouraging. Like a light of hope for marriages everywhere.

soul-of-mine [2006-04-08 18:54:44 +0000 UTC]

et en plus, ils se sont mis pile sous les branches, comme une bénédiction. un modèle de choix
j'aime bien penser que dans ces moments-là ils n'ont même pas besoin de parler pour se comprendre. ou alors, ils ont rien du tout à se dire depuis 30 ans et restent ensemble par habitude, mais on va dire que non

Ce qui me plaît dans cette photo c'est la façon dont tout est identiquement penché vers la droite. Et le cheveu sur la Samaritaine aussi.

I love it since it totally plays upon the voyeuristic aspects of society.

It reminds me of a photo a friend of mine took; [link]

still gotta send you that e mail!.

well, I liked the same stuff as you, so there's not much to say...
oh, just noticed something...this might be just me or it might be something in the photo, but is there a hair in the top right of the photo? It might have been there when you scanned it...

c'est marrant, tout ce qui te plait dans cette photo me plaisait aussi avant de lire le commentaire, donc j'ai pas grand chose a redire! effectivement le fait qu'il se ressemble beaucoup (alor qu'ils sont de dot) est vraiment génial! c'est marrant j'ai toujour l'impréssion que les couples de "personnes agées" sont frère et soeur et qu'ils se ressemblent beaucoup!

Ca me rend mélancolique, les manteaux qui se fondent dans les tons de la photo. Joli cadrage, minimaliste, mais c'est ce qui rend la photo spéciale.
