Rest
Movement
The top picture, taken in April, shows a panoramic view of Monaco with lots of buildings and a harbour with dozen of boats and yachts. We added a black and filter to make the picture look “old”,
to emphasize the feeling of solitude, and to make the people who look at this
picture feel that time has slowed right down. It was a sunny and warm day but there was a bit of cooling
wind which made the moment nice and relaxing. We could hear the sound of the waves and the seabirds, and smell
the flowers (we took this picture next to a beautiful garden).
We were really feeling good at this moment: it was so calm because of the
distance between this place and the centre of the city where there is all the activity. The distance adds to the sad calmness of the
picture.
The second picture, of a large Washington street,
taken in July on a hot and sunny afternoon, shows people, numerous parked cars and many buildings, including a church. It was such a noisy place: the cars
were making so much noise and I could hear lots of people talking. There was so
much going on; the photo captures well the hustle and bustle. The smell was not unpleasant. The heat was unbearable.
These two pictures are contrasted: black and
white quiet and calm, versus colour noisy and busy; slow versus fast.
