In the metro of Paris, while I was waiting for the train ...

Two posters one beside the other, two people, as if they were to be about to talk to each other ...

I love so much the idea that posters, and people in them, could decide to give a different message and live a different life, that the one some big companies advertising for their products, have decided for them ! :)

Title inspired from a song of KT Tunstall, "Other Side of The World" from her album "Eye of the Telescope".

Hi Sylvie,
Nice shot, good colour and great note to compliment your shot.
Well done my friend,
BEn

Hey!
A different kind of frame this time ;)
Truly looks as though they're about to talk to each other:
"Hey, how's it goin there in the heart of the country?"
"Feels like the other side of the world!"

You made posters talk again, rebel against what they were initially meant to say :)
Nicely noticed the unspoken conversation between them.

Hi Sylvie,
Excelllent imagionary art. Like the way you cropped and adjusted the shot with the image partly rotated. I was looking which of the two figure were in real-time; but none of them is ;)
Well seen nice fine art my dear Sylvie! TFS.
Hans

great job aind sekwence compo

Interesting juxtaposition here Sylvie. Lot's of contrasts Dark, Light, Man, Woman etc. By focusing on particular aspects of Posters you certainly make them speak far more than the advertisers intended.
Well seen
Regards
Chris

Buona Sera Sylvie,
Great. The opposite actraction...Everyone once time in life want to live another life.
Complimenti,
Marco.

Well mixed, Sylvie!
cheers,

hi silvie! this is a great idea!

the woman on the poster is none other than madeleine peyroux, a great singer she is! the poster is the cover of her album 'half the perfect world'...

thanks for sharing this interesting 'idea'...

Great idea here, Sylvie. I can see the connection (at least my version of it) between the twos and together the make a nice piece of art. I like the extraordinary use of colour here as well.

Regards,
Johan

Fine colours and life-like figures. Would have been nice if they could really speak ...

hi sylvie. great find and excellent idea. nice message too. well, kinda reminds me of me and my wife. although hongkong isn't really on the other side of the world from manila, it's tough living apart. tfs! :)

Intriguing and thought provokeing.
Excellent seen and done ... as always.


have a nice weekend,
v

well what can i say
just that its wonderfull

Superbe prise de vue! et j'aime ce concept que les choses ont une vie propre et que l'histoire n'est pas toujours celle que les hommes décident. Ça a toujours fait partie de mes fantaisie et c'est la preuve que c'est vrai, ces deux là vont surement faire un bout de chemin ensemble...
Patrick

cool image from u again. both texture & tone blend in well. very urban sleek feel here,the guitar man is chris issak, a cool singer.

hi Sylvie,

J'adore !!! It is again a perfect shot, i love the combination of the 2 posters, you can imagine a whole story behind it... good while you're waiting ...
great !!!
