but u said u also will re-do your picture with a white suit...so meaning what you said about the significance of your dark suit no longer reflects how u feel?

You really don't get it, do you?

Let me simplify: The CONCEPT of the picture is the black and white reality of decision making.


Any other questions?

thats great Salar! I actually have had this idea for a while of duplicating that shot with me holding a camera instead of a gun. I want to make a window decal advertisement for my suv... don't copy me now!!:D

just curious...isn't this just coping the original? if so how is this a good concept...it's the same concept isn't it? not bashing u

good concept for a self portrait :) different "reason" behind the concept..
but the design was not original nor salar's.

Thats my next picture!
With the L glass hanging off the right hand....




Actually, I was thinking about Kevin's idea as using it for a template before I went to bed; and thought since gun wouldn't be appropriate, a camera and long L glass would be perfect. And have the writing and information in the black part.

Hmm....

DAMMIT!!:p well i suppose we aren't the only people to have this idea... just don't do the window decal thing!LoL

Yes I realize its not an innovative nor novel idea, and I obviously wasn't trying to play it off as it was.

The concept of the original, as I see it, is as follows: A man full of rage and anxiety is on edge. His problems are so severe that he has resorted to a weapon to resolve them. The solutions are not diplomatic, and rather are as clear and black and white as life and death.
His white suit and black shirt symbolize the same contrast. But is also a symbol of inner rage (black shirt) covered by restraint and self-control (white suit). However, since his stance is facing towards the black with a weapon in hand, and the white portion of the image is slowly fading, it means he is ready to take on the problems with absolute force (gun in hand).


In contrast, my image is slightly different: It is a man in almost the same predicament: full of problems and agony. His problems have contained him in entirety (black suit, black shirt), and he is also holding a gun in hand, which signifies he is ready to respond in the same manner. The suit is starting to darken, which means he is being contained by the corruption and indescency of the dark side. However, his face makes all the difference. His face is turned towards the lighter side, contemplating a different way out. It is as if he is going through a process of enlightenment, sudden epiphany. What will he do next? How will he react?

Do you mean window decal for the car?
Actually, it would probably be better for you if you used a gun instead. It would certainly give road rage a new meaning.


:p
