The church closed sent on February 22, 2017 (12:38) by Riccardomelzi. 10 comments, 422 views.

, 1/2500 f/5.0, ISO 200, hand held.

" Data la sua funzione, il portale viene assunto come segno rilevante ed elemento strutturale di primaria importanza nell'ambito etnico-sacrale, tale da trasformarlo in eloquente manifesto dichiarativo della finalità stessa dell'edificio. In quanto segno polisemico dalle forti connotazioni simboliche, il portale dei luoghi sacri ha avuto in tutte le civiltà una rilevanza grave e solenne per essere stato considerato luogo rituale e metafora interiore dell'ascesi mistica. Ad esso viene affidata infatti la funzione di araldo che invita il fedele o il viandante ad introdursi in un luogo separato da quello abituale della convivenza civile proponendogli, nel silenzio eloquente del suo stare davanti, di entrare in comunione con il Mistero. " Non posseggo il dono della fede, ma poche cose mi sconfortano quanto trovare una chiesa con la porta sbarrata. In questa immagine, oggettivamente banale dal punto di vista tecnico e compositivo, trovo un forte contenuto emotivo: il fatto che a queste due anziane donne venga negato l'acceso al luogo sacro ed al conforto, che evidentemente stanno cercando, dalle difficoltà e dalle sofferenze che possiamo immaginare con facilità, è per me motivo di grande turbamento e mi appare come una profonda ingiustizia. La foto è stata scattata a Budapest nel 2014.

It 'true that is the abstraction of a concept, but if I read the sign that the church is being restored throughout the decade noisily.
Besides, the two women do not look to the church but from the opposite side, and this could be interpreted in different ways.
Personally I find it so weak shot.
Steady, trembling, only thanks to the explanation you've provided.
I think the trouble you've experienced is absolutely present in the shot and not be perceived by the observer which of course was not present at that time.

Thanks Arco and Marco :-D
Yes, I have witnessed the scene, Ms. "youngest" desperately pushed the door, without seeing the signs that clearly were too high ...
Lacking the usual stereotype, I made the same mistake as before, and that is bring a weak representation of a reality that I felt so much more striking.

Here, you said, if I managed to capture the moment when the lady was pushing the door, the shot would have been almost exactly the meaning that you wanted to give her.
Unfortunately, the stereotype is not beautiful, but in a photograph is the first message to the brain.

The scene you wanted to represent was very strong and full of meaning (though not positive, but realistic), unfortunately the implementation leaves something to be desired for the reasons listed above. But one thing it is known, the signs are too high (for sure that someone took away to avoid them) and on this thing you could play for example seizing the moment when someone would raise his head to look at them, though not always in this genre photo people do what the photographer wants ............

I find a strong emotional content: the fact that these two older women are denied lit the sacred place and the comfort

it seems to me that they are more interested to see exactly who is photographing the ...

in riccardo effects I am very much in line with the thought of those who preceded me.
partly of course for the sign explaining the reason why the church is closed, partly because of the expression of the two ladies who apparently breathless it perhaps from excessive heat and little interested in the church closed.

certainly not be able to do better, but the message which I read with pleasure, I can not see in this picture.

The idea is there and if you do not read the sign that says why the chiea is closed, I can also inmedesimarmi in the elderly ladies in the sun looking for a shelter and a bit of faith but are with the church closed. Despair and total discomfort highlighted by strong sunlight.

Hello Riccardo know that quoto rarely but in this case I have to quote Mark Arconudo, for me the picture does not stand. And 'one of those cases where perhaps the approach of the six non Capa style close enough is applied, the photo is also weak in my view for this reason. Nothing of what you have included as the context makes it clear that the observer is a church except the sign that belies the same photo effect, plus there are no graphic elements strong enough to justify the space you have reserved for the door.
