I like black and white photography ...
I like black and white photography,
There is a nudity of subtle feelings,
There is no color, only a whisper,
In the moment of frozen hands ...
And a look that stopped time,
Like a bridge between someone and a soul,
And day and night, not arguing with me,
Merged in that grace of the living ...
There everything is on a sigh and on the verge,
An unfinished fragile gesture,
And a heartbeat in one octave
Through the shadow that made its way into the light ...
There is a nudity of subtle feelings,
There is no color, only a whisper,
In the moment of frozen hands ...
And a look that stopped time,
Like a bridge between someone and a soul,
And day and night, not arguing with me,
Merged in that grace of the living ...
There everything is on a sigh and on the verge,
An unfinished fragile gesture,
And a heartbeat in one octave
Through the shadow that made its way into the light ...

Thanks Ron, I find black and white photos very beautiful and many times you can pick up on more of the subtle details and a feeling of peacefulness. I wanted to relate that back to feelings so I hope it worked. :) 💖OoXx

I think that photographs are the only genuine method of time travel.
Mind you I watched Donnie Darko once (I was a little bit off me tree at the time) and watched that part where they travel through the cinema screen and then spent the rest of my sesh staring at a Polaroid waiting to meet my old friends. Bastard still owed me a tenner also now I think about it.
Anyway... That aside....
The last stanza is particularly killer. I like how it lends this ethereal theme to the piece as a whole. Picture helped as well. Made me miss Germany. It’s a beautiful country. Been quite a few times now.
Thanks for the read.

Little bit off me tree - that's me all the time. You are definitely my kind of person. lol Sounds like an acid trip but shhh.... I wouldn't know anything about that or maybe I am on a permanent acid trip; jury's out on that one but no doubt they think I am tripping on something. Germany is great and I miss the UK, lived there for a bit growing up. 💖OoXx (my excuse for everything is I lived in the UK for a while, and everybody's just like Oh because what the f#$@ do they know about the UK. It's my excuse every time people look at me strange so I got it on a t-shirt and thinking about a tattoo (no, not really).

Haha... well a lady never tells. But sobriety takes all the pretty stuff away so I’m a good girl these days. At least that’s what I tell the judge.
I am from the U.K. I have never been to America. Apparently this makes me some sort of internet leper.
... I’ll live. *slurps tea*

You are from the UK, that just makes you a normal leper. (nevermind, pretend I didn't say that).

Are we the only one that feels this is erotic, though subtle, it's really sexual to us. The bridging between pent up emotions and ecstasy. So many words pointing to a sexual nature behind this, though tinted with darkness, tight pieces Lady

Damnit I_IS_ME, you weren't supposed to tell anyone that. (just kidding) There is usually multiple meanings in my stuff if you look for them and that's one keen eye and a dirty mind you got there; hell has a good vision plan. I could say something here but no, zipping it... 💖OoXx

Bravissima Kristina❣❣ I too love B/w photography...leaves me to color with my imagination. Ansel Adams being my favorite protagonist. The two passages that struvk me deepest are, "There is a nudity of subtle feelings" and not because of my love of the state of undress 😄 and "There everything is on a sigh and on the verge" Beautiful BD🌹❤

The imagination is a terrible thing to waste. Where are my crayolas. Stop thinking about nudity all the time you perv. Just teasing, that's me too. When you say beautiful it totally derails my brain, don't do that... (just kidding, do that) 💖OoXx

I love that too, especially when you introduce just a little colour in certain places. I miss colour with a U. lol The correct way to spell. I actually had people tell me that the British spell things wrong and I was thinking you understand where 'ENGLISH' comes from right? But it's no use arguing, everything was invented in America. lol 💖OoXx

Dear K,
It’s a beautiful picture. Like black and white movies, black and white photos allow the minds eye to fill in what might be missing. It lends an air of mystery that I’ve always found romantic and appealing. Black and whites also keep the bits and pieces of my soul I don’t trust or want to share with anyone safe and sound. I found that throughout your write.
“ Like a bridge between someone and a soul,” I thought this phrase exceptionally meaningful for me as I used it to mean that space no one can penetrate. It’s safe from interlopers. Powerhouse piece. H🌷

As always, your ability to pick up on what is contained within my writing is incredible. I love how you always seem to be able to truly immerse yourself in it to find the deeper meanings like regarding the bridge. I also used the Devil's bridge specifically to relate to how that space can be a very painful place where we store thoughts and horrible things from our past and present that haunt or torment us. 💖OoXx

There's something about b&w photographs, not just for capturing something nostalgic, but something that reaches out to an individual's artistic imagination.
My father used to be a photographer and when I was little I didn't understand why he would do b&w shots from time to time. Only then as I adult did I begin to appreciate the artistry behind it.
Well done Kristina.

I really do love black and white photos. There is something so serene and peaceful to me, it definitely gives a different dimension and I think it does engage the imagination in a very different and unique way. Sometimes colors overwhelm me lol but that's another story. I am really happy you liked this one and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. 💖OoXx

I like the line, “Like a bridge between someone and a soul”. I too get the feeling that a B&W photo provides more of a connection between the viewer and subject. And yes, a B&W does provide an impression of capturing time. I think B&W captures emotions and feelings better, partly because the color themselves distracts (aptly more eloquently described by “nudity” in your piece). Enjoyed your perspective on B&W photos.

You definitely get it DaVinci, for all the right reasons. And of course there is a reason I used the Devil's bridge for a picture taking consideration for the dark things that lurk there. Color can be very beautiful but I agree that can also distract and overshadow other details and emotion. Thank you for the comment and giving me your perspective, I really appreciate it. 💖OoXx
