Artist's Comments

Loopholes alley, leading to the Chjostru garden in Bastia.

This place scared the shit out of me when I was a kid, because at the top there was a closed black gate behind lots of sharp brambles, and there was no sign of anything beyond that door. So kids would say (or maybe it was only my imagination) that it was the door to Hell. Several years later the city refactored the garden into a school, cleaned the alley, and opened the gate which really lead to the road. Since then I have literally been able to go to Hell and back through where the black gate stood.

i really like the story behind the picture
the angle is wonderful, makes you feel like you staring right down a long hallway but on second glance you can notice the stairs.
the archways also make your eye move into the picture giving it a great sense of depth too.

Seulement passée en noir et blanc et colorisée en faux-sepia. :)
Virer un truc au sélénium, ça donne quoi ?

Viré au sélénium ... ça donne à peu près ce que tu as fait ... c'est assez rouge ... je crois ... mais ça se fait sur un VRAI tirage noir et blanc ... au labo .. et ça permet au tirage baryté (on vire pas un RC !! sauf pour faire joli ... ) de tenir dans les 100-150 ans vraiment !! =p

On peut faire un virage à l'or qui est encore mieux pour la durée de vie ... le mieux c'est de virer le négatif ... alors là on atteinds des durée de vie de prseque 1000 ans !!! ouaip mille ans !!! =p =p

I feel a sense of strong sacred emotion when i look at this. I can tell that it is a hellish type of place: the red tint, the stairs pointing down, the black gate, even the tatered-ness of it all. Its just old and eerie yet very sacred to you and your child hood. i enjoy this very much.
