Wonderful mirrored interior of mysterious humanity and unstated plot. How this tight corner has burst open! I find this quirky composition to be somehow sympathetic and balanced. Very appealing.
An endlessly interesting photograph. All the players are in different spatial dimensions, as if a family's generational portraits have been animated and are hesitantly gathering for an occasion of great moment; someone is lost, in one way or another.
The most thrilling thing about this photograph is its originality. It's not like anything else I've seen, and that's hard to do in this age of images beyond counting. It may just be the beard, but I'm reminded of those morally enigmatic Russian plays and stories by Chekov (Anton, not the Star Trek bloke) ... the questions asked by your picture are all pretty much left unresolved.
So much better to look at a photograph and be unsettled than to be reassured. Why, as a photographer, settle for doing the same old thing when you can be as ambitious and audacious as this?
A stellar photograph, and my equal top pick. 10, thank you, and the curse of the Order of the Thumb be upon you.
