Vlad (ytrewq), eh... I've been hunting for this shot for months... oh well ) I need to learn from Marina Glebova: less meaning, more form. By the way, I'm drawn to form, drawn, but meaning won't let go. I need to do something concrete, to counter this incomprehensible meaning. When the sun comes up, I'll go in search of form )
Author, the meaning is clear. The grandfather looks nostalgically at the USSR quality mark. But in my opinion, there's nothing interesting about it. Plus, the cropping is unclear. Crop the bottom. It will become larger. It will emphasize the image. What's the point of the blurry spot on the left? Crop a bunch of unnecessary text on the left. Cut the sign at the top, too. All the necessary information is on the poster the main character is studying. This car is unnecessary. I can't show the cropping from my phone. But I think it's clear. That's my opinion.

Vlad (ytrewq), that's why I'm saying I need to stop with meanings; they're too illegible for me.
Here, I'm focusing on three details: the chair (where it all began), the grandfather, and the car. I didn't even consider the contents of the stall; it could have been a stamp or something else.
The grandfather and the chair are both old. The chair stands as if inviting the grandfather to sit. However, it's covered in snow, so the grandfather remains standing, lost in thought. Just as the old chair is hidden under the snow, so much in life has already become a thing of the past, hidden by the "snow" of the present... And this car, the third detail. Hey, never mind the past, never mind the thoughts, never mind the snow... she's just a machine ) ...That's it, I'm done with the meaningful photos )))
Vlad (ytrewq), the most important thing for me is to shoot and search for something, make mistakes and, finding interesting solutions, not repeat them - that way I gain more experience ) So write, write, write, any word is always useful to me ) Thanks!
View crop Something like that? Only the car part will stick out like that. I don't overshop anything in these kinds of shots anymore. I save Photoshop for other things.
Author, it's good when there's meaning. But not literature.
Vlad (ytrewq), I get it. But not everything. Take, for example, this photo:
What's valuable here, what should it capture?.. etc. A simple, fleeting shot. Two old men, chatting or reflecting, against the backdrop of an old tree. A dog running past. What's valuable is what's captured on film. What else?.. This shot can also be turned into a verbose description, seeing different meanings, or it can be left without words and a title. Will it be perceived by viewers exactly as its author intended? If you compare this photo with mine, will you find any similarities? Only mine is a modern world with stalls and cars, while there are old times without asphalt and high-rise buildings.
Vlad (ytrewq), I don't think so. I'm having the same issue, I'm on my computer. It shows up for a few minutes, then stops. I edit it, paste the link, and it shows up again, but now I've looked, and it's gone again.

Regarding the Photoshop stamp, it's unacceptable in a report.
Or is that a photo from the last millennium?
Vlad (ytrewq), br...%) I guess the point isn't really to take a photo, but to imbue it with too much meaning.

Maybe because it's on my phone.
