    From An Untitled Dream - Holga.....

    I saw this at a local park, this is part of this concrete mound that kids can play on, it has some slides and some concrete pipes the kids can play in.
    I saw this scene and thought it needed just a little more than that was there.
    What do you think about this photograph?
    Thanks!
    Brian

    It reminds me of the ring---creepy ---

    I really like this image out of the images you have taken with the holga

    Even with the explanation my brain comes to a screeching halt...it's neat because I don't know how I want to interpret it...

    falling in ? or climbing out?

    awesome imagery!

    I first saw this in the Galleries. The immediate impression is of a cannon with a human cannonball loading themselves.

    This generates a surrealistic impression as something isn't quite what it seems! The central distortion take an other wise calm bland scene and combined with the unexpected presence of the hands produces a slightly disturbing image. Very arresting photo. Personally I believe it needs a better title . . .

    Otherwise, glad to see it. I may add some other thoughts in the galleries.

    Very surreal! It does have that Holga dream flavor all over it. I really like the angle of this and the clarity of the hands. Really cool image Brian!
