<I>It feels as though I am seeing this sort of thread for the first time on the forum. I like the

way it flows, its extended nature, with all of the pics a variation on a theme. The pictures do

seem zen-like, or intuitive, to me. Evocative.</I><P>

 

Bill, it used to be this way - almost every night. About real photography. Then, like a cancer

taking over, it gradually degraded, mostly to being about one individual and a lot of talk.

People left or just stop posting.

I agree with Lutz- there are some good photos here and at least

an equal number that are fluff. I think he was honestly

expressing an opinion, and for that shouldn't be attacked or told

to post his own examples, especially since it's known by most

that he's an intelligent photographer and film maker. W/NW

means you have the choice of posting words or images, or both.

How difficult is that to understand? Besides which, if you want to

see what Lutz does visually, click on his name. Some people

don't see the need to post the same pic on these threads for the

4th or 5th time, particularly when the image was mediocre in the

first place.

 

nice to see G4 here; good thread on the whole..

Since I feel that my post has been kind of mutilated by erasing G4's pics from this thread, I'd like to repropose them here in their original size. These and more are to be found <a href=http://www.streetzen.net>here</a>. I wholeheartedly agree that they are stronger than any of my words could possibly be. ;-).<p>

<I>It's been too long... thanks much folks.</I><P>

 

Yes, Hashim... <P>

 

But sadly, Grant's pix, which carried much of the weight of this thread, were

yanked down due to one individual's complaining. Apparently he wasn't getting enough

attention lately. What a crybaby...

I was watching this thread with great interest until it got too long to download. When I finally came back to it all hell had broken loose.<p>

 

I have to say that grant's work here is nothing less than <i>incandescent</i>, if you don't mind, grant, a fifty cent word. Brilliant. Grant's work is by far the strongest to appear on photo.net, lending to the site a credibility it can't and doesn't wish to warrant.<p>

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but watching this thread has reminded me more than a little of <i>One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest</i>. One extraordinary individual shakes up the routine, sets the pace for the group, and suddenly - if only momentarily - everyone's confidence and enthusiasm see a huge boost, and so does the caliber of participation. We know what happens next.<p>

 

In any event, grant, your stuff deserves all the attention you can bring to it. Keep shooting.
