untitled – Georg Pagenstedt – Hamburg, Germany

.

I made the photo in a subway station of Hamburg Central Station, on the way back from Hamburg Övelgönne beach with my family. I was just taking some snapshots while we were waiting for the train. The elder son in the red shirt is reading the soccer magazine and he’s totally uninterested in hat is going on while my wife throws our younger son through the air.

The upside down view looks a bit disturbing. Seems strange. I like to make pictures of unusual moments.
.
There’s no need to see faces or smiles to capture the joy of the moment. The impossible torsion, if it were one single person, puzzles the mind and at the same time opens the door to emotion.

Balloons of Bhutan – Jonathan Harris

Balloons of Bhutan – Jonathan Harrys – Bhutan

.

Organizing its national agenda around the basic tenets of Buddhism, Bhutan uses “Gross National Happiness” instead of GNP to measure its socio-economic prosperity. In 2007, Jonathan Harris, artist and photographer, spent two weeks in Bhutan interviewing and photographing 117 people about their concept of happiness. Balloons of Bhutan gathers those visual moments and people’s wishes both in image and recorded voice.

Jonathan Harris prefers to edit photos according to his memory, instead of the way they should look to be perfect, and that’s probably why the amazingly beautiful light in the photo. The perspective given by the line of balloons and the framing from the tall trees convey a sense of ‘perfect place’, the one chosen for a Happiness moment.

Luxury in the Past – Maksim Shumilov

Luxury in the Past – Maksim Shumilov - Crimea, Russia

Leftovers of yesterday’s dinner, we had dried fish and bier.

.

Domestic images are great when give a hint on people’s life. This golden and almost lacquered dry fish forgot on the table connects the out of focus past, the small china sauce boat, and the present, the chipped boiler.
