Artist's Comments

Modern mythology as we create it
The City, a little boy, a leaving plane, a passing dove
Colors of a sleepy world
The ending of a small scene
The beginning of another

A memory being installed into a young mind
Life as we know it and no one else can
The mix of elements that exist for this time
Tomorrow something will be missing,
Something new will replace it

Mythology is no more than society ambition
To escape the cliché and be remembered.
The City, a little boy, a leaving plane, a passing dove
Colors of a sleepy world
Ready to dream another dream



*****

This piece --> Henry's world was taken at the same place, at the Tel Aviv's harbor.
I love using this place for silhouettes, and it's all about the decisive moment and the composition. It worked out well here. The nearby "Sde Dov" airport also brought this plain to landing height, which made a great impact as well.

There's so much going on in this image; amazing composition! One of the best deviations I've seen in quite a while to be very honest. Smells like DD to me.

Strange but interesting. Broken the theory of balance and composition yet enjoyable.

How can you do such amazing shots????? Do you stay there all day to get the right scenery?
Absolutely fantastic! A photo to meditate on ... specially with this nice poem accompanying it.

Brilliant Gilad, I love how do you work with silhouettes. The one of the kid is specially expressive, congrats.

BTW. I sent you a note :)
