The Abyss

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

I just love your head! Or more specific...your brains ;) The overall simplicity and the technique and creativity make this another topnotch.!

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf Well, that's kinda a big compliment for a non existing head. And the brain? hmm, Don't know, maybe non-existence as well.

Thank you very much John, thank you ;-)

Interesting compozition... but the shadows are a bit off.

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf yeap, that's one of my weaknesses in editing. If you look at my other pictures, you can see that I have always difficulties with shadows ;-)

Thank you very much for dropping a line Radu

Radu Damian not sure it's a weakness... maybe a trademark :)

Your techniques are getting better and better.. and the content was always superb, so alltogether it produces a great result.. keep 'em coming :)

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf I don't know if my techniques are getting better, but I think I'm trying to do things simpler. And very glad you like it, I have a new idea for a new picture with a similar principal, so wait ;-)

Thank you very much Daria...

Lars Klottrup 2 years ago

Normally I'm always good for an interpretation of an image, but not in this case to be honest! :-(
But i like it anyway - it's fascinating-crazy (Maybee that's impact!!??)
Lars :-)

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf hehe, cool. I always love it to hear different interpretations from different people. And if there is no interpretation, no problem. I had many ideas while creating this. One thought was waiting and getting nothing. And you got it,I used that statue for more impact and mystery ;-)

Thank you very much Lars.

Uzay 2 years ago

I don't need to understand the story but i like the feeling that the picture gave me. Fantastic.

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf Yep, it's all about feeling. There is not always a story behind a feeling. hmmm, Someone asked me if I could create a picture about feeling nothing...I must think about it.

Thank you very much Uzay ;-)

Like sayd Alex, simply fabulous, Kaveh !!

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf Rui, thank you very much for the flower.

Best regards to you and your goats ;-)

ps: I took some photos from some German goats. But they were so boring. just stared at me without doing anything. Portuguese goats are much more lovely.

Alex OBrien 2 years ago

You're absolutely mad! ;)
I don't understand the story, but this is simply fabulous!

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf Am I? ;-)

The story is about gazing into nothing...

Thanks a lot Alex for your words.

Javier Miqueleiz 2 years ago

Such a great paranoia

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf Well I'm not sure if paranoia can be great, but I think I understand what you say.
Thank you very much Javier.

Javier Miqueleiz Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm spanish so the expressions may variate. I said "paranoia" to express unusual, craziness in an artistic way. I think your work is awesome (on this and other pictures) by having that touch of "paranoia". Your creative editing is always interesting, sorry if you have misunderstood me :)

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf No no no. That was just a joke with being not sure if paranoia is good or not. I totally get your mind ;-)

Thank you very much again...

What are you fishing skeleton?
Love your style :)

Kaveh H. Steppenwolf I'm fishing "The Nothing". Look, the rod has no strings. It can't fish anything, but it is curved. There is also something. Like a gravity.

And thank you mom. You haven't feed me enough, also I'm a skeleton now...
