Description
As we grow more and more technologically advanced, we seem to be becoming more and more distant in a "getting together as a community and hanging out with each other in our back yards" kind of way, chatting away about life, the neighborhood, work, you know....the sharing part you see in all the 50's movies. A time when we all got together for weekend barbeque's and such. The advent of the cell phone and computer have changed the dynamics of the world. We can call one another, with clarity, any time of day or night, anywhere in the world, but we can't walk next door to our neighbors' house and go on in and sit with them for a spell and just chat...just to catch up.
This is where I see our species headed if we don't learn to reconnect with each other. We will all be solitary individuals, except those we have in our immediate family. We won't know how to talk to people face to face, but only on a screen or phone.
That's what I want this image to convey.

Superb image, the idea of chatting in ones back yard seems to of vanished so many decades ago! Cool artwork for sure!

I think you did great in conveying the solitude of the character. Brilliant use of DOF, and I like the lighting and shadow play as well. Great job!

Great picture. Very good DOF and POV. Well done. 5+

A fine image. Particularly like the dehumanised figure - not an inch of skin visible - and the blurred, semi-visible background. Though personally I'd say the further we get from the 1950's, the better

I agree with the further from the 50's the better, but we can still be human and humane to each other. I don't mind losing the stupid innocence that the people from the 50's had as an outlook on the rest of the world, the whole leaving your front door unlocked all night and day even when no one is home is most likely the dumbest thing you could ever do today, but just the simple human contact. We don't have that anymore. Even here. I mean, so you come and look at the artwork, and you say nice, or bad things about it, but do you really know me? The person behind it? You can only surmise a few facets of the person behind the art, but never the whole picture. Something to meditate on. Thomas

I have neighbors but only acquaintances- no friends.I prefer to keep it that way.you are right about people getting farther apart, but familiarity can cause more problems than not.when I was a child, my mother had many friends but no money.now I have few actual friends and no money haha.seems like things goes in circles outstanding render and represents loneliness

Thanks everyone for the comments, all of them. I appreciate the daily, weekly, yearly validation of why I spend so much time and money doing this and never getting any of it back. I much prefer the accolades, and hope some day it comes to help me acquire a decent job doing this type of work for others, but until then, I'll keep spending and plugging away at it. Thomas
