Artist's Comments

Long time ago
Long before there was a prophecy
There were the prophets
The Unknown prophets

They lived on an island
Surrounded by thoughts
Nobody knew them
But they knew all

Thinking of what was
Imagining what will be
Reflecting on their actions
Predicting a world to come

Long before there was a prophecy
The unknown prophets ruled their world
They knew and judged the good and bad
They were the masters of opinion.

One day a ship came to the island
And all these new prophets came down to shore
They had new ideas, prophecies.
They became the known prophets.

The unknown prophets gazed at the setting sun
They knew their time has ended
And made a last and final prophecy
A prophecy that we live by everyday

People will always be
Striving for what they can’t have
And therefore only god is truly satisfied
And that prophecy lives on.

The shot was taken in "Drummers beach", Tel-Aviv. Israel.
Let me just say, before all the quwstions, that the colors are all real, no manipulation, not even a touch of levels.
I hope you enjoyed the words as well. If i made some spelling or grammar errors, please feel free to correct me.

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organised visual lying.
