  1. Dear Patrick, I spent New Year's eve and following days in Kitzbuehel, Austria. I went with my husband, my baby son and my mother. We stayed in a very nice hotel, which once was a castle. My husband went skiing every day, I couldn't, because I had a broken elbow. So, I spent most of the time either relaxing or playing with my baby or...fighting with my mother. All in all, we had a great time, though. Both on the way to Austria and back home, we travelled by plane and taxi. All the best, Snejana

  2. 1) When i look this i think at the situations that can oppress every man, but with a correct attitude is possible stop it.
    2) I look a man with an hat.
    He wear a dark jacket , a white shirt, probably a black tie, dark pants and dark shoes.
    He is under a big shoe.
    This big shoe try to crush the man, but he stop the shoe easily. The danger does not scare the protagonist of this picture.
    Is impossible look the face of the man, because he look down.
    The man stay on a beach, and back he have the sea and a sky full of clouds.
    The photo, in black and white , obviously , is a photomontage.
    3) I think this photo shows a metaphorical situation. I do not think the photographer try to send to is public a religious message, because I think: God not wears black pants and black shoes, maybe in some officials situations.

  5. a) the photo makes me think of a surreal scene where a man without efforts don't let him crushed by a biggest problem

    b) I would describe the picture in this way: a well-dressed man can not be crushed by a giant shoe simply raising an arm and locking it with the right hand , all while keeping his head down without giving satisfaction to look at who want to hit him

    c) I think that in a surreal world the weaks block the powerful subverting the social dynamics

  6. Everyone has a big strength inside.

    It's a black and white photo, where I can see a man who wears a suite and tie over the white shirt. He uses his right arm too stop a big shoe over his head that is trying to crash him.

    It's a symbolic image, where a man shows self-control, with a relaxed way crossing his legs
    he solves the big problems of life.

  7. Well! Is difficoult to be original when you arrive at least however I see a black-and-white photo paint a big black shoes try to oppress a dark dress man. The man stop the shoes without any problem only use the right hand while the other hand is in his trousers pocket. He also accross his leg and appear calm and secure.
    To be coincise, I think that the artist would said that in everyone there is a force to resist at all but you need to belive in yourself.
