The Death of Yellow

Hi Raaj,

We haven’t seen you posting any shot for a long time and I was wondering what had happened to you! Now that I see this fantastic shot, I realize you have been reading books and going to museums. But I have a strong feeling that you missed your Russian language classes.

This shot is a real masterpiece. I have never seen a yellow door and a ceiling fan in the same shot with a blue horizontal line between the wall and the floor. As you know, I am not an intellectual or a qualifies artist to analyze or interpret any masterpiece and I am sure our good friend Jeff can do that much better by finding many points in this shot that would relay to Sartre philosophy, to Miro composition or even to Mozart symphonies! I am sure there are many meanings in that table on the right with black legs paralleled with the door; and, that black dog behind the door that I, a simple person, is unable to fully understand!.... Jeff; please; HELP!

As for myself, I can only see something of the “Templers” in this shot! First, if we prolog the horizontal of the door with the vertical, not only we can see a cross but the letter “H” that is for Helvetia, the other name of Switzerland where the Templers settled centuries ago!

But as a simple man, I am more interested in the lines and geometrical shapes - like triangles, for instance – of this shot. Actually, I must admit that reading some of the praises and critics in some other previous threads opened my eyes and now, every time I look at a picture, all I see are lines and triangles! I feel I was blind till now and I thank everyone to finally open my eyes!

But then, when I combine all together; Eureka! … This must certainly be a message! A message from a language unknown on Earth!... An Alien message!... That reminds me that you are a scientist!

Yes, my dear friend; you created a piece of “Philosophical art” and a new sort of “communication” that has been unknown to us, mortals, till now!....

Congratulations, dear Raaj! Who says we don’t learn anything in DPR!!!?...
