    ..this is very strong..

    ..what are they running from ..?

    ..is it rain..?..or sea spray..I keep thinking a sea front..?

    doh i didn't read the notes..!..wow......the b&w is so different..fanastic ..

  5. Hughes Léglise-Bataille (85 months ago | reply)

    They're actually running for the sheer fun of it !!! It's funny, because the glass walls I shot through and the close-up ground give this grainy effect which makes people think of rain, but it wasn'training (you can see a couple quietly seating on top of the stairs in the right).

    scary, well done!

    @Kay: it is, but it's a permanent one. I've tried to find the name of the artist, but couldn't. I guess it was maybe part of the overall "Grande Arche" architectural project rather than a later addition to it, but not sure, so if anybody has a clue...

    Bellisima!

    Très bon ! très belle photo.

  14. Hindolbittern (85 months ago | reply)

    Excellent - again, this one looks filmic because of the grain.

    Your pics are fantastic...

    that while it may have more elasticity than logic;
    it flies along in a straight line like eletricity,
    depopulating areas that boast of their remoteness,
    to prove to the high priests of caste
    that snobbishness is a stupidity,

    Very interesting

  21. _des_Ong (85 months ago | reply)

    very animated feel of it. To see them through a window add another viewing dimension

    Hugo, des fois je vois un mec qui prend des photos et je me dis, est-ce que ce serait lui!
    j'aime bien ce que tu fais mais on te le dit trop trop trop et donc moi aussi!

  23. john edward (85 months ago | reply)

    this one's pretty dramatic..i like it!

  24. Hughes Léglise-Bataille (85 months ago | reply)

    @Tendance Flou: ben c'est possible !!! J'ai "croisé" un photographe la veille (vendredi) sur le parvis de La Défense, à peu près aux mêmes endroits que moi, ce ne serait pas toi par exemple ?

    una maravilla!

  26. Misteriddles (85 months ago | reply)

    Intallations like this tend to look somewhat unnatural 'in the flesh'. Though I haven't seen this one 'in the flesh' I suspect you have done very well to maximise the realism and believability of the figures whilst at the same time managing to create a scene that is both surreal and evocative. Excellent.

    Magnifique. Magnifique. J'adore.

  28. iFovea (85 months ago | reply)

    Another cool shot through the glass panels. It's got the feel of a fifties Picture Post or maybe Paris Match shot. It looks great.

    the dark and the window grin give it an atmosphere of rushing fear and desperation:

  46. woodypix (78 months ago | reply)

    I like this one even better: love the B&W grey-scale, the dynamics and the grain; a BIG fave !

    excellent bw !!!
    I thing you would enjoy the Czech movie HOLUBICE by Frantisek Vlacil, it is an old bw film from 1960 with great camera work. Another great movie camera work is on old Russian film I AM CUBA. It is partly shot on bw infrared film. It is, I think, also from 1960.
