Artist's Comments

Sometimes I feel life heavy on my shoulders...
Sometimes I wish I could just lie down like a stray dog...
Sometimes I wish I could lift my eyes from the ground and look at the sun again...

When i first looked at the picture, I felt an inner reflection. Yet so simple and yet so meaningfull. You witnessed a moment with great composition and skill. The shadow of the man looks like the invinsible weight that he carries on his back.The dog at the backround is there which gives one more breath of life in the picture. The woman's portrait on the floor and the dolls at the back look like the rest of the world for him at this particular moment; invinsible. A great demonstration of street photography, right place at the right time with eyes open. Well done StamatisGR.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought the dog was flying. I didn't realise that the shadow belonged to the man and not the dog until I saw the large image...

Good picture! It looks like he has a lot to worry about.
