Ghost Town

Definitely, I do not have the capacity to interpret the metaphor of the slimmest strip of sunlight creating a huge glare in most section of an image, images that are exposed multiple times to create the theme of “sense and sensibility” or that sort. Not just that, I’m, too, unequipped with slightest idea how certain pictures that look plain, will end up as critically acclaimed work. The critics play their role for a reason, which is to see what ordinary people fail to grasp. So, I’ll leave all this professional review to them while I’ll go on with my maniac ranting on things I perceive.

In all, I’m saying all this to prove that, it’s much easier to see things from ordinary being’s eyes, and take your first thought as the most honest reply to the work you’re looking at. So no more yada yada yada. I came across some impressive pictures recently from a feed I subscribed to.

The pictures below are from Richard Ehrlich that captures Namibian ghost town of Kolmanskop. The town was in bloom during 1908 when a diamond mine was discovered. German expats moved in and turned the whole town into a western settlement. 20 years later when the mine was dried, they abandoned the place, leaving shadow and silence in vain.

So here you go.
