Hi Hercules. If anyone was to be offended, the sensitivity and wisdom you show in your notes should make them keep their silence. I suppose we in the West in particular do not like to be reminded of our mortality, as seen by the mind numbing entertainment and the multi million dollar anti-ageing cosmetic industry. In the end it all comes to this. You caught this moment with due respect and diplomacy.Even the framing gives it gravitas. Regards, Klaudio

Death is a part of life, and the rituals surrounding death differ around the world. Therefore I think this shot is a worthy & important contribution as it does teach something about the world. TFS.

Hola Hercules.
Primero decir que me gustan más los WS, pero entiendo que podrían molestar a algunas personas.
Sea como sea, cada cultura ve la muerte de forma diferente: no creo que haya aquí motivo de ofensa.
A fin y a cuentas, TE ha de ser para aprender cosas acerca del mundo, ¿no?
Si bien como foto no es la mejor de tus fotos, ésta una foto de TE. Y eso es bueno.

Ta leme file mou.

(por último recomendarte la galería de oochappan, sus fotos de la India son increíbles)

The photo is clearly arranged and expression strong. It always belongs to a certain measure of overcoming to photograph dead ones and the rituals of the funeral. Greeting, Wolfgang

Hola Hercules.

100% de acuerdo (y mira que me sabe mal decir esto) con Coco. TE no es sólo para la foto bonita sino también de "conocimiento" y acercamiento a otros sitios/culturas, lo que encaja perfectamente en la foto esta.

Un saludo, OScar

Hi Hercules!
I belive you did the right thing my friend .. you had the princpal permission .. the family .. us in TE have the choice not to see it if we think it's too much!
It's a ritual .. it's knowlege .. I'm thankful that you shared it with us!

Hola Hercules,
Ciertamente, este tipo de fotos de reportaje son muy distintas a las "bonitas" de paisajes y monumentos. Pero ésta es un recuerdo de lo que has visto y vivido tú en el tuyo. Es una imagen chocante (no ofensiva) para muchos de nosotros, pero forma parte de una cultura de la vida y de la muerte también muy distinta a la nuestra. Aunque si lo pensamos, nosotros también hacemos cremaciones, más discretas, pero no hay tanta diferencia.
Buena foto.
Un saludo,
Josep
PS: Los WS muy buenos también, aunque algo más "duros".

Εξαιρετική και μάλλον σπάνια φωτογραφία για το ΤΕ. Πρέπει να σε ευχαριστήσουμε που μας δείχνεις μια τέτοια ιδιαίτερη στιγμή. Τώρα τεχνικά, το καδράρισμα είναι πολύ καλό όσο και τα χρώματα. Επίσης πολύ καλά τα workshops. Εξαιρετική δουλειά!

Hello Hercules,
some time ago when i knew you and your pictures, i adviced you to post this, and not just because i was curious, but i think also thanks to this picture we can learn more about world and people, different religions, and there is nothing offensive in this it and your note is very good.
Take care Hercules and have a nice evening
Vero

Hi Hercules, thanks for visiting my gallery and for your comments on my picture. Thanks to your visit, I get to know your work. Let me tell you that I am extremely impressed by the beauty of your picture here, and by the very sensible note that you have taken the time to write here for us. With such care, both through your lens and through your words, you are showing us a very important fact of life - one of the MOST important indeed - in a superbly mastered way. Congratulations. Both your workshops are also very good. Cheers, --amz

Oh, impressive! I like the bright colours, the natural frame and the "message". The soul is now where it belongs, I guess... :) And no offense should appear here.

Hola Hércules, un documento muy interesante sobre otras formas de sentir el fin de nuestros semejantes, también pienso que son importantes y tienen cabida en TE este tipo de reportaje.

Felicidades amigo por tu trabajo.

Un abrazo

I am glad you took these photos and uploaded them.

In the Indian subcontinent death is often accepted as a matter of continuation, as you suggest, and is often celebrated. Lighting the fire on the 'mouth' of one's closest relative is an auspicious act, a duty, in fact.

I would think TE is certainly the appropriate forum for these cultural exchanges.
