buffalo soldier, a photo from Baden-Wurttemberg, West

Photographer's Note

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
There was a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

If you know your history
Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am

I'm just a Buffalo Soldier
In the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival
Fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo Soldier
Win the war for America...

(Bob Marley)

...fingers crossed for Obama...

...Charlottenplatz metro station in Stuttgart...

(Stuttgart'ta Charlottenplatz metro istasyonunda çekildi.)

Merhaba Korkut.

Let's see Obama then...worse than Bush is impossible I think.

Nice colours!

Kırmızı - kırmızı uyumuna bayıldım (ne yazmışlar acaba :P)Yolda giden zenci ama Alman bayrağı renklerindeki şapkalı adam değişen Almanya'nın yeni yüzünü anlatıyor.Tam sana göre bir kare, Obama bu dünyaya inşallah uğurlu gelir savaşlar biter ...
Tebrikler Korkut,
Zeynep

Hello Korkut

That's a very great shot. You took a perfect angle to have a good use of these colorful pillars and to give a 3D effect.
Very eyecatching colors, fine light management, and a strong graphical result. And bonus, the silhouette allows you to deliver this message.
Very well seen, and realized.

Regards
Karine

riclopes (35577) 2009-01-22 2:03

Olá Krkt, it looks like a merry-go-round to me. Kind of a maze mood. He's lost and will find that on the other side it's exacteley the same we have here - just a colorful round wall. Hope it doesn't happen the same with Obama...Nice to see the match of colors in his hat.
hugs,
ric

Budapestman (82620) 2009-01-22 2:37

Hi Korkut,
A photo composed wonderfully. The coloured decorations on the wall provide a rhythm to the picture. The rich colours add a lot to the mood. I hope so, the big expectations get a big president.
Have a nice day, my friend!
George

dip (21408) 2009-01-22 2:50

Hi Korkut,
you have the eye to find such scenes,excellent captured!
and that in the heart of Germany:)
Ta leme,

Morac (27725) 2009-01-22 3:33

Hello Korkut,

... fingers crossed for Obama ...

I agree and I hope and I am confident

And now I'll have in the head, the air of the song : "Buffalo Soldier" for the entire day.
Thank you to you: this is nice.
Marc

Renkler nefis, harika geometrisi ve modelin konumuyla çok güzel bir çalışma. O renkli duvarı tek başına da aldınız mı acaba? Notunuz da gene müthiş tamamlıyor fotoğrafı. Elinize sağlık.
Selamlar.
Çağla.

pasternak (15185) 2009-01-22 3:59

Nice one, good frame division between the colorful ornament and the man... the pattern on the right resembles a native american or african one, so goes well with the song...:)

Cheers

Hi Korkut,

Selam Korkut,
Guzel bir derinlik hissi verdi bana fotograf. Saga dogru kivrilan renkli duvar, adami,n yeri, ve netlik renkler cok guzel.
Eline saglik.
Selamlar, sevgiler. Salvator.

buscape (6219) 2009-01-22 8:09

Hello Korkut,
beautiful shot with great message. I love it.
Great perspective, good sharpness and vivid colors.
Finally a few words from another Bob Marley song:
We don't need no more trouble! What we need is love!
Yes, ... fingers crossed for Obama ...
Best wishes,
Helmut

Keşke sarı-lacivert olaydı diyesim de geldi ilham gibi.Hatırladım birden,anaokulunda bu şekle benzer,renkli fon kağıtlarından bu şekilleri çıkarırdık...Hayali bir şeyi,gerçekliğe dökmüşsünüz...
İyi günler diliyorum,

tomescuc (3291) 2009-01-22 13:25

Hey Korkut,
Perfect timing here. Good choice of not desaturating it ;-) ---- the colors and patterns enhance the image.
cheers,
Cristian
ps: same sentiments for Obama, my friend! It's been really really ugly for the past 8 years.

jonathan_hart (21276) 2009-01-22 15:00

in a graphic and colored environment, good timing, well done

burGu (4840) 2009-01-23 0:32

Santral'e ek olarak böyle metro istasyonlarına da götürmedin ki çekeyim böyle renkli canlı fotoğraflar... :p
Karoların sağ en geniş halinden başlayıp sola doğru küçümen küçümen haller almasıyla derinlik tavan yapmış. Baktıkça kolonun etrafında dönüyorum hissine kapılıyorum.
Grafiği, canlı renkleri, ve şapkadaki renklerin genele uyumuyla hoş bir çalışma olmuş Korkut Bey, ellerinize sağlık.
Sevgiler efenim... :)

greekscapes (395) 2009-01-23 3:04

Hello Korkut, i am not going to say anything hat you haven't heard already, beautiful composition, great colors and imagination!

hello Korkut,

Nice colors and great composition, as usual !
Bonne journée

didemay (2945) 2009-01-23 4:21

Hope every stolen thing -uptill now- will be payed back...utopik te olsa...
Korkut super bir nokta yakalamissin. Ne kadar bekledin modelin gecmesini?
Sevgiler,
D:)

pboehringer (770) 2009-01-23 9:10

Korkut, that is certainly a very interesting dedication for #44. Interesting that it needed to be taken in Stuttgart (my birth town) one of the most ugly cities that I know in this world. yet, you managed to get the an quite engaging view in the U-Bahn Station. I wonder what is around the corner, but that is probably something that we will only know after the first 100 days, 4 years or 8 years.
Peter

ocskaymarci (2832) 2009-01-23 10:29

Despite the warm colours it's really a cool photo! ((: So young, so energetic.. Fingers crossed..

MiguelP (14470) 2009-01-23 10:56

Yes, I also keep my fingers crossed about Obama, although a little less religious exhibition from his behalf would be very much appreciated... You know what? This photo makes me feel kind of loneliness, really. Of course I love it, dont know, I love the colors, so maybe I feel sad he´s not sharing it with anyone... Well, silly critic today :-( hehehehehe, I´m sorry.

Miguel

atha2pan (3811) 2009-01-23 11:55

aadilj (18102) 2009-01-24 2:10

Hey Korkut, this is absolutely great work. The way you have looked at the scene and the way you have captured it is amazing

PixelTerror (0) 2009-01-25 2:49

Merhaba Korkut,
Red & yellow, a bit for everybody, and with this globalized human touch you have a perfectly fitting image fot this big event, though I have to say I have not seen yet Obama in rasta outfit.
Have a nice sunday JY

g_panakia (4031) 2009-01-28 4:22

Selamlar, iyi bir haftasonu diliyorum.

clio (27961) 2009-02-07 5:42

Bonjour Korkut
Great shot!
The centring was already excellent, but the presence of this young boy with this cap in perfect harmony with the wall brings another dimension. That becomes a very beautiful urban composition.
Bravo!, best regards
Diane

gokanlam (6605) 2009-02-07 12:59

mukemmel açı ve dogru modelle harika olmus Korkut.. sagdaki renklerle soldaki koyulugun kontrastina bayildim.. cok şık ve gozalici..
selamlar Korkut..

siolaw (38294) 2009-02-09 0:19

Hi Korkut, Excellent graphism with a well chosen POV and timing to have a passer by in the right spot. The saturated colors increase the visual impact of the picture.
Greetings

Dear Korkut
Great harmony of colors
like the moment you choose to shot
this half circle is interesting with the guy movement
all the best - olivier

wolf38 (30) 2009-02-26 8:42

Hello Korkut. As it seems, you have an eye for composition and event, - exactly in this order. That is, you are a photo artist and a aesthete at the same time. Forms, lines and structures attract you like a magnet. And the result is nearly always a strong and worth seeing photo, as for example with buffalo soldier. Compliment. Best regards, Wolfgang.

avene (12675) 2009-03-19 14:53

I need some colour after commenting on the other post :) so I found this psychodelic post that seems to spin around endlessly. how long did you wait to have a man with a cap in same colours as the wall? :) optimistic shot, I like it a lot.

regards,
Kristine

kdialyna (3148) 2009-03-31 11:27

Absolutely perfect the game between the colorful wall and the moving, thinking, a little bit blurry man.
We got the message Korkut...Our time is a difficult time, for everybody, but for him, the color man, is even worse.
Congratulations my friend.
Kostas

Glint (6171) 2009-05-05 12:03

hello Korkut,
simple yet stong graphical shot, like most of yours. You don't need to get complicated to get it right. Like the title and note.
And just to think that we now have a buffolo soldier in the White House! How cool is that?
