July 1st, 07

great photos from my contacts / 01-07-2007: michele marmotte - disappearing road



we see lousy weather - it's dawn or dusk and it is raining or the rain had just stopped - we see a highway, just one car is coming - slowly, as there is a marking on the road - slowly, because pedestrians could be crossing - but there is nobody - the shot was probably take thru the front window of a car - the sky is gray and looks leaden and occupies about half of the image - the colors of the landscape are only faintly perceptible
this photo transports mood and sentiment in an extraordinary way - loneliness, not exactly knowing or seeing where the way leads us - i involuntarily look for a dry and sheltered place - the car, the photographer is sitting in, is just a little island, not enough to feel comfortable - the leaden sky is more like a menace
it's a wonderful photo
