distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train
Three A.M. I’m awakened by a sweet summer rain / Distant howling of a passing Southbound coal train / Was I dreaming or was there someone just lying here beside me in this bed? / Am I hearing things or in the next room / Did a long forgotten music box just start playing? (Jim White)

Ein Bild voller Sanftheit, die man fühlen und anfassen kann: Mildes Licht. Matte Farben. Glatte Wand. Feste, flache Polsterlehne. Samtige Nackenrolle. Eben hat hat noch jemand auf der Recamière gelegen, die Stelle ist noch warm. Ich streiche den Polsterbezug glatt.
Great composition and light ! Great shot !
The light is off, one can plug the dreams in the night, the light is on, one can shoot the scene to make a picture, a great picture thought for an optimal composition, a balance of the whites (and blacks and grays) offering rich textures, the textures of the daily lives, the light is on and you shot it, Florian, you shot it like an image of a dream plugged in the night, you shot it and you made it so beautifully. So beautifully.
The detail. Sobriety. The pertinence of the frame.
It is really beautiful. A big fan of this style of picture very refined. Beautiful….
A simple, not simplistic composition, beautiful, just what we need to see, with this beautiful B&W and light. Open on something else ….
Bis ins kleinste Detail: perfekt!
Alles stimmt: der delikate Lichteinfall, die korrespondierenden Kompositionsachsen, die brillanten Texturen, die einfachen geometrischen Formen und die fantastische Reichweite der Grauwerte. Ein Interieur zum Anschauen, ein ausgestellter Raum, ein Museums-Raum.
Doch das Bild ist auch – rotundschwarz schrieb es bereits – anekdotisch aufgeladen, denn die Polsterfalten verraten etwas von einem Ereignis, das einmal stattfand, ein Sitzen, ein Liegen oder nur eine flüchtige Berührung, der Versuch eines Be-Greifens.
Und so vereint das Foto kompositorische Strenge mit einer diskreten Erzählung, die jeder Betrachter in seinem Kopf erfindet.

Wunderbar, so voller Kraft und Energie, gleichzeitig zurückhaltend und verletzbar, und so bleibe ich bei Uwe und habe meine eigene Gedanken zu diesem Moment. So soll es sein!
Ever so poetic, 3am and that couch by the window is your friend, if you can’t sleep because your mind is elsewhere, far, much farther away
„Stylistic“ mode, cleverly framed Florian… plus the „addictive joy of light“ (HA!) – Super Fierce… say that 5 times fast hahhhahhhaha!
ay, Fritsch, a little different frame from your master hand – a beautiful indoor study of light and shape and texture, and it is off course extremely well done!
love the open duality of the picture; the fact that it is both inviting and distant at once, it is extremely present as well as impossibly distant.
great work, buddy! keep ‚em coming!
(oh, loved that runter Laufen-expressionist frame too! completely different, but inmistakably you!)
Hepp!
this one I’m just crazy about – a real masterpiece in my book
A perfect play of light, excellent photo!
this is a haunting still life shot, nice work!
Perfect geometrics and everything is neatly in place…except for the perceptions. It seems as if that is the way of it all too often.
Beautiful minimalistic rendition
magnifique graphisme.
Very compelling shot, friend. It’s got everything that makes a black and white an excellent photo. Keep them coming.
Sometimes light has such a particular quality. It takes you. You’re not dreaming, you’re just appreciating it more extensively.
Perfect composition and light! A BW jewel, which reminds me Kertesz. Fantastic shot!!!
Have a nice day.
Another gem in a trove full of treasures
