it's the scene where he is in a wheelchair in a home, and the interviewer asks him about kane. it is not a strong scene, i kust recall it because it is visually similar, at least in my memory

Waiting, for what? For the kids, if they have time? For the nurse who will changing him? This pictures can tell you a lot of stories and that's why it makes it very interesting. Besides that it's a perfect B&W picture with a great perspective.

Robert Larson Or maybe he is waiting to die. ah, I wont preach at you, but I did have a very specific story in mind here. Thank you so much for the compliments Femke.

it's a very strong image, but also sad, especially with the corridor in the background.emotional. also reminds me of a scene with Joseph Cotten in "Citizen Kane"

Robert Larson Thank you! I wish I knew which scene you are talking about. I only saw that movie once in film class about 4 years ago and I really don't remember it that well :(

Zsolt Arkossy Yes! Just a simple piano music, slow zoom with shallow DOF... Oscar Winning shot!

Robert Larson Thank you so much Lars. It means a lot to me that this was published right next to the a picture of my grandmother, I feel very complete :-)

Lars Klottrup Yes, Family is everything! I just had my wife back from the hospital in such a chair with an amputated leg! So evokes a lot of feelings ..........!

Robert Larson I'm very sorry to hear that Lars. I hope this is one of those things where feeling something, even if its sadness, is better than nothing.

Lars Klottrup Exactly - your picture is actually a relief for me - let the feelings have their way! :-)
