Artist's Comments


I can't escape the fury of the lord tears
It punishes me for simply living for all these years
Is there a lesson to be learned from this hard rain?
Do I deserve this, or is this god gone insane?

They say that the lord works in mysterious ways
If it's true, I seem to be having one of his bad days
I would like now for this rain to stop just for a while
Like god is still contemplating the sentence of my trial


****

This was taken through my office window during a very hard rain, falling during the time that day becomes night.
I love the atmosphere of the street lamp and the distant man trying to escape the rain.
I am aware this is not going to be a popular piece, and I have no problem with that. My pieces are usually very clean and this is exactly the opposite. This is not main stream and it's as "deviant" as is goes. For me art is about making a feeling and expressing an idea. Hard rain should look hard and rough. This should look as a contrasted B&W piece, something a little abstract that you get lost in.
I have to say that even if this doesn't get any favorites, and everybody dislikes it, I'm still very satisfied with it.
This feels like a sketch to me

Tel Aviv, Israel.

This is very amazing! I agree with you that it looks like a sketch, it gives it a more surreal feeling. I really love your photos, you show Israel and other parts of the world in such an interesting point of view. You make you land look like a dream world and it makes me want to pack my suitcase and go there now!
I'v been to Israel, but then I was really small so I dont remember anything.

Thanks for your talent :)

hmm, I think it's way to overcontrasted. Sorry man, I'm not really liking this.
Although the conept is good, the end product fail because of the contrast and the messed up composition.

Thank you, I appricate your opinion, but this was exactly my point.
I wanted the strong contrast to complete the "hard rain" feeling, the un-comfy feeling of this stormy feeling.

Despite how you think people may hate this, I LOVE it! You're absolutely right, hard rain should look hard and rough, the black and white contrast just enhances it SO much more! Then sketchy feel is awesome, it's so different to your other work I just love it soooo much! I hope you do more works like this in the future :D <3~
