...sedation...

Switzerland // Hoengg // 21.9.2003

Another IR-photo from the "Regenerate" series I took at my local chillout spot last September. After looking trough the archives I found this one and thought it was worth submitting.
For technical and general informations about this piece/place check out regenerate and regenerate II

No manip...


Sedation

Sometimes it takes time to recognize the aesthetic aspect of life. Stop
dead in your tracks and breathe in deep. A leaf waving invitingly in the
warm summer draft. Come on friend, rest some after an exhausting day,
taste the sweet relief. Put aside your worries, charge on nature.
Regenerate yourself. That‚s what I think.

Sometimes it takes time to accept the aesthetic aspect of life. Sit
down, light up and hang out for a while. I know, it's hard to take all
too often. The crystal clear sky so overwhelming, so overpowering. The
magnificence of the world around you turning into a painting by Dali.
Complete with dripping clocks with the seconds dancing by. The smell of
upcoming rain.

Sometimes it takes time to remember the aesthetic aspect of life. It's
minutes like these that make life worth living - maybe it's just an
enchantment of everyday routine. Yet still, through its beauty in
untouchable form, it cramps my style. Its apparent bliss makes me nervous.
We can't stop the wheels from turning and maybe, I think with a smile on
my face, maybe that's the great thing about it. Minutes, hours, weeks -
all moving into the perpetual. Perhaps the point is just to sit here and
think about it.

(I can't view the full version so bear with me) :)
I really like the leaves of the trees, they almost seem kind of pink the way they were captured despite that they aren't. The tree itself adds in a nice element of shading and contrast which ties nicely in with the dark colour of the bench and (your?) pants. The type of emotion I derive from this is sadness yet in a beautiful sort of way. A boy could be so sad in such a beautiful world, which makes one wonder, what torments him so. My only critique for you would be to add in a slight bit of contrast, the sky seems a little washed out compared to the grass and plants. This is a touching piece, and very well composed.

Great work :)
