The Great Escape
Lens: FA 31 Camera: K-01 Photo Location: PSL ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F16 
Posted By: LeRolls, 06-16-2014, 04:32 PM

Had this idea bouncing around in my head for a little while now. Decided to go B&W and a little more stylized to try and emphasize the drama/storytelling. Feedback is always appreciated.

Interesting concept. I like the lines on the one free standing at the top of the image. at first I thought they on a spring high up but they now look to be on the ground. Were these suppose to represent the guards? Interesting Art. JIM

A very interesting project that is well done with a menacing feel to it.

As the title is 'The Great Escape' I can only presume that the small clothes pins are escaping the large clothes pins by climbing the rope. However, I can also see it as the small clothes pins descending the rope to take on the large clothes pin aggressors.

Either concept works for me.

Thanks. Yes, basically guards or just the opposing force attempting to stop the escape.

I am also fine with either interpretation. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Much appreciated! I have often felt that the only thing of true value that I posses has been my imagination. It's gotten me through many a dark time in my life.

I spent ages looking for your trademark scantily clad young ladies.

I almost feel cheated.

You know my opinion. The ladies are interesting but your creative landscape work is superb.
