Ciber Cafe

We found a door inside a hotel with a misspelled sign saying "Ciber Cafe". Behind the door we found one computer. Email-time.

This image is just perfect; the closed-in walls defining the space, mirrored by the box shapes of of the tiles, with the pale monochromatic walls giving an impression of isolation which is emphasized by the void space behind the woman's back; the contrast between old (the three legged chair) and new (woman and computer). The compositional and color balance is awesome, with the darker green of her sweater as a focal point against the paler green of the walls. You chose just the right angle, too; just off-center enough to give the image life. And that three-legged chair really adds an interesting note. In fact, the more I study this image, the more I like it. The fact that you caught it on a camera phone is wonderful; photographers should always have their cameras with them, and in the hands of a skilled photographer a camera phone is the Leica rangefinder of our generation. Thanks for sharing this!!!

thank you for all your kind comments

>airships: i much appreciate your comment - the motif is a result of a very handy point-and-shoot mobile camera, though i wish i had a better camera so it would have come out better in larger versions. i also enjoy the story behind this photo, we stayed at quite a remote area of cuba, and this was our only sort of communication portal to the rest of the world. a pretty wooden carved sign outside the door (i'm standing in the doorway) telling this was a cyber cafe makes it even more exotic, i think

At least the computer was working. Great story telling from your image.

I'm an admin for a group called hotel (motel) culture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Absolutely love this. The colours is just fab and the stark lack of furnishing is just surreal. Gorgeous.
