I couldn't hit the nail right on its head any better than you did, Visar! Indeed, all that almost obligatory sort of "feelings exhibition" is such a shallow minded fake! It's a fake and that's all! You found for me the word that is the reason for my anger when I see all those mindless spectres that post selfportraits in order to say "Look at me am I not fine, am I not nice and full of feelings?" Poor kids of mediocracy and nothing more. The only answer is to tell them "No! You are not fine! You are only a plastic product, wasting my time with nonsense!" But even that isn't enough to awake them. A whole lot of zombies around that would rather insist persuading somebody of their "fineness" than to sit and use their rusted brains. AAAAAARRRRGH, I could spit fire!!!
So, you can imagine how good your captures do! It's balsam for my eyes and for my brain to see them! Then I also get a whisky and can follow you in the strange windings of thoughts. But hey, you with a coke??? ARRRRRRRGGHHH for a second time - OK, OK, it's too warm, I see! So, lemme get me a cool one too, and we continue!
Cheers, coke cheers this time!

thank you Nick for the comment, indeed it is that what i find a challenge for the camera and i do be able to show- or suggest but not state. i think even if i had 300 lives i would still choose not to state something. i cannot effort it; in fact i think it is bound to be a failure when faced with time--- and, if stripping emotions, which unfortunately are so misused nowadays, and thus fake- supports that suggestive thinking, that is contemplative and quite introspective for each of us.
thanks again and cheers, (unfortunately i am drinking coca cola, imagine that, as my body fluids on these days are endangered by crazy rays of sun- no whiskey lately) :( v.

It reminds me of some scenes of movies with Ingrid Bergman, Visar! Those B&W movies and scenes in softer focus that were studies of the human character, thoughts, fears, right into the abyss of conscience. The plasticity of the face was again very strongly anhanced by the games of lights and shadows under strong contrast. Having the "half" of the face helps also to add the element of the expected yet still unknown, and thus questionable.
A very good timing also, since one of the most hard things to do is to really catch the time when the expression is nothing else than the lack of any expression at all! This matches again so well the character of a study which doesn't find "all answers".
About composition, could that stripe of white (the wall) at the left be omitted? (Attachment.)
Strong image!

A fine work of art. It's just what we all are, a mask appearing briefly out of the darkness. Regards, Gary
