Artist's Comments

If no one sees us do we exist?


I was not going to use this technique again but I think it fits certain images and moods, such as this so I feel I should keep at it, let me know what you think.

Do we exist? does it matter what we do? Why are we here?

Those are few of the questions that raise in my mind when i read the title.

Maybe we are just ghosts to something else on this earth.

I think this image suits the title very well. It leaves you thinking about life and it's purpose.

On the technical side i think it is just a brilliant shot, great lighting, great composition. The longer exposure gives the men a sort of ghostlike look which empowers the idea behind the shot.

Overall i think it is a well executed idea, with a great mood to it and a great location. well done.

Great pic, Mike. But the question is - how can we NOT exist, even if no one sees us? The energy/presence of our existence is proof in itself, even when we are in pain and hope that no one notices.

personally I love it. I think the processing gives "a lot of mood" and essence to the image.
Also noticed it is shot with the 7D.
Nice buy, hope you enjoy it :)
