Love is a matter of timing.

Chow Mo Wan: «It's no good meeting the right person
...too soon or too late».

Chow Mo Wan: «If I'd live in another time or place...
...my story might have had a very different ending».

He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for the year 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention.....to recapture their lost memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back, except for once. He was there...
(text adapted from Chicken Noodles)

«2046» is one of best movies of my life. The dialogues are superb. The night I saw this movie for the first time I felt as if I had been with a close friend for some hours, and if we shared lifes, as it is possible to share love.

In this photo (the fourth of my homage to Wong Kar-Wai movies) two citizens cross the street without seen each other.
If they faced each other maybe there was the time and the place for love.

However, they always have the chance of the «mystery train that comes from 2046».

Love the balance in this composition Teresat.
Life keeps pushing forward, nice prophetic work.
The B/W tones are well contrasted here.
Another fine still from real life.
Well done.

hi Teresat

I may not know 2046 but it looks like you think a lot for this B&W shot and have expressed your thinking through this post. In 2046 the shop may not be like this anymore, will it?

One of your best shots and notes my friend !!
Mainly is the great atmosphere of the b&w.
Our beings make this trip every moment in our lives
It's a jurney through time back and forward.
Memories and dreams, what we left behind amd the timing of it. Every day millions of people pass each other without see.
Love touches us but we don't see, don't hear and the most impostant don't FEEL.
Excellent work Teresa BRAVO>
all the best
Your friend Y

Really Like this image(and the expressive txt), the detail of Man in movement increases the gap between (in)diferent worlds (great Control and timing of the 1st and 2nd curtain )...
isn´t Photograph like Love ?
Timing and Crossin´ worlds!

Olá Teresa!

Sempre diferente... sempre original, mais um trabalho bem conseguido, em que apesar de representar o futuro aparece em P&B que geralmente representa o passado, mas isso foi uma das coisas que mais gostei na foto.

Parabéns
Ana

I can't see me being around in 2046 Teresat:). Nice tones in the image, the whites not too bright and the cropped feet don't worry me. well done on the conversion process,
David

Olá Teresat,

Nunca tinha ouvido falar desse realizador de filmes, mas ao acompanhar os teus posts e ver que gostas tanto e falas tão bem dele, estou a ganhar interesse em ver filmes dele. Agora a cerca da foto, adorei a originalidade e quero ver esse filme para poder perceber ainda melhor, apesar da tua descrição ter sido muito esclarecedora.
Parabéns. Um abraço,

Marco

Ola teresat


2046 é muito longe ainda.
Tenho certeza que ira se encaixar na vida do cotidiano de cada
pessoa desta epoca.
Vai ser a mesma coisa eu acho, as pessoas se cruzaram na rua e nem se olharão uma para a outra, eu acho que o amor nas pessoas
está sendo perdido, sexo hoje em dia é facil demais, não se namora, não ha aquela sedução, romantismo.
Bom enfim isso é outra história.
Boa série!
Parabens!

Sergio

Ola Teresa,

Nice scene and description,
very "poetic" photo!

Malik & Mary.

Tu serie de Wong Kar-Wai movies es muy buena, conceptualmente bien lograda. Este tipo de fotografia de ensayo o con tema y estilo comun que no sean macros, fotos de naturaleza o retratos, sino mas bien de tipo ensayistico se ve poco frecuente en este medio. Un saludo y gracias por compartir. :)

Mysterious connections made and lost in time? I would like to see the movies..... never heard of them before!

Hi Teresat,
Another wonderful image. The B&W really works here. Composition is outstanding. Truly talented eye! TFS Thomas

It's ironic how the lives of two people can intersect at a certain point, they have a glimpse of what their lives together could be, they know they're meant to be together, but either the circumstances are utterly unfavorable for those people to be together, or it's just that there's always a twist of fate that will keep those two apart, as far as possible from one another...like in your shot, passing by each other and not even knowing it...
I guess that there isn't always a happy ending in real life...
Congrats for the superb shot and note, my dear!
Diana
