Wow! Increíble, en serio, como dirían por aquí “So amazing!”. Ya forma parte de mis preferidas! Cuanto más me voy introduciendo en esto de la fotografía, fotógrafos con aires de grandeza y los desvaríos tecnológicos del SXXI más admiro tu sencillez, tus instantáneas son el claro reflejo de, con que poco se puede llegar tan hondo.
Muchas gracias de nuevo David por tu hermoso comentario.
La sencillez, lo simple es el objetivo a alcazar. Para ello hay que desprenderse de muchas capas trás las cuales se esconden nuestro verdadero yo.
Conocernos y aceptarnos es liberarnos.

Lovely, in an introspective and haunting sort or way! Well done! 😀 Oh, and thanks for visiting my blog so that i could find the link to your lovely pictures. Mine are just raw really… I am just learning with this new camera and don’t have much time to work with it!
my eyes identify a captain’s hat made from newspaper…there is a process by which this hat undergoes destruction by a storm at sea and all that is left is “the shirt on his back” I look forward to the comments which message your visits. this image wakens a personal prayer,
“May equanimity lift this veil of shamed despair so that I may become acquainted with the perceived and perceiver absent of attachment, anger, and ignorance.”
…
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Magnífica, técnicamente un gran trabajo de edición y creativamente una imagen cargada de sensibilidad. Me transmite una sensación de tristeza: la cara borrada y el barco de papel, de sueños, crean una atmósfera nostálgica. Saludos, Marcelo.
Gracias Carlos por el hermoso comentario.
Siempre deseé hacer una serie de autorretratos y este período me ha permitido adentrarme en mi interior para tratar de mostrar mis sentimientos más personales.
Thank you Resa.
They come from within, born in the same place where all my ideas come from. But I’m afraid I’m not good enough to express them.
All the best.

You swim up from the past, of all our set
the one most rosy, elegant, and tall.
And your transparent profile – how it sways
through carriage windows! Why does memory insist?
Angel or bird – we argued which you were.
(Anna Akhmatova)
Thank you, Marcelo! For a very beautiful and touching self-portrait!!
Artists like yourself who try to confront that pain are very brave. We hope for understanding through the process. I could not do it but am glad to see the results of what you did.
Thanks Judy.
I am not sure to be a brave person, I am just trying to do my best to know myself and overcome my fears so that I can recover the long-sought peace of mind.

Beautiful! Dark and light at the same time. Your header reminds me of “The Phantom of the Opera”
Thanks The Sundog Drift
Self-portraits help me to get away from all the ghosts of the past.

Very sensitive and poetic – as mentioned by others already. I love the grey scale.
Thanks artinstructor. I really appreciate your kind comment.

You are welcome M.

What beautiful work. How much of ourselves do we ever truly expose?
Thanks Patti.
I am afraid that the majority of us hide behind a self- protective, and sometimes unconscious shield to avoid others harming us.
m
I love your work M . It touches hidden places in me .
Thanks Poppy, I am delighted to hear it, because I always try that my pictures create an emotional response in the viewer.
m
Marcelo, this is stunning.
It feels much like stepping out of a beautiful smudgy drawing. A realization.
Fantastic!
Thanks Karen, in a sense, throughout this series I’m trying to step out of myself to dispel my own darkness.
m
Deeply moving. You have added greatly with each contribution to my work.
Enveloped in the past, the sail boat lies safe in your arms.
Thanks so much Rufus for your very generous comment and beautiful reading of this image.
I am still touched by the poetic beauty of your series about Alan.
m
This wonderfully expressive image touched me immediately. Powerfully stunning.
Thanks Elena, I’m very happy about that, because your emotional reactions mean a lot to me.

I’m stunned!!
A strong self portrait Marcelo.
So poetic…
Five thumbs up!
Thanks Malin. That is a very encouragement comment, especially because it comes for somebody whose work I deeply admired.
As you well know an honest self-portrait is always a cathartic experience.
This is the first of a series I hope you find interesting.
m
Marcelo, what can I say. I’m deeply grateful that you admire my work. And I can say the same to you!
I’m looking forward to see your work!
Thanks again Malin.
I’ll post the rest of a series little by little.

Lovely, unique and memory evoking!
Thanks Resa.
Memories come and go pervading our lives with their nostalgic perfume.

Where ever those words come from, they are beautiful, Marcelo! – kisses to you – Resa
Thank you Resa.

Thank you karijeppesen, for the poem and very kind comment, I take it like a big compliment because I deeply admire your self-portraits.
m
Oh,Marcelo!! Thank you so very much!!!
(…I´m blushing…). Your work is a treasure… Thank you too…
This looks like a child ghost emerging from the wallpaper. Very thoughtful vision here – it looks like it occurred to you in a dream.
Thanks Judy.
I made this series of self-portraits in the hope of coming to surface those painful memories that still remained deeply hidden inside me.
It was a tough process with difficulties and disappointments on the way but it turned out to be a very rewarding one.
m
Artists like yourself who try to confront that pain are very brave. We hope for understanding through the process. I could not do it but am glad to see the results of what you did.

This is wonderful….thought provoking with a certain mystery.
Thanks Debby, some parts of my interior world still remain a mystery to me.
