Sharp!? We don't need no stinkin' sharp!

Well - this is not really what you're looking for, I don't think.... but, it's not sharp either!

<i>Not only that, but it matches my sofa too.</i>

Sobering comment, Bob. I think you like Michael S' (other) work as I do. :)

[vivek iyer]

On a second thought, perhaps Peter was serious about buying a 4' x 3' print from Michael S.

 

In that case- my apologies.

Peter M and Travis -- thanks.<p>

 

Bob -- I have a sub-specialty in sofa-matching commissions, but first I've gotta see the sofa. And I wasn't the least bit offended by the remark -- took it in the humorous spirit in which it was offered, and I took Vivek's comment the same way. No problem at all.<p>

 

Back to Peter. There most certainly was an element of luck involved. We'd driven up to Baltimore and had time for dinner and wandering around. I snapped <a href=http://www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=baltimore+blur&w=74058404%40N00> several photos that night</a> <i>because the colors appealed</i> to me.<p>

 

But knowing myself, even as I was snapping, I thought that the photos -- if any worked out all-- were probably candidates for b & w conversions. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the very warm colors were quite close to what I'd remembered.<p>

 

And they weren't typical of the street snaps I usually take, which as I think Vivek hints usually do have clearly visible faces. Even <a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/michael-s/477231372/>one</a> or <a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/michael-s/634246813/>two</a> from that same night are more like what I often do.<p>

 

Thanks again. I'll tune in later or tomorrow in hopes that Bob will by then have posted a photo of his sofa. :)

Michael S.: Bob's remark was directed at my "cream wall" remark, probably misunderstanding what I was saying to mean that the photo is good because I can envision the proper designer room it would fit in.

 

I think it logically follows that without presentation, a photograph is worthless...or at least subverted. Some photos take on a new life when presented BIG. In galleries and museums, much thought is given to the environment in which a work of art is viewed. When I saw your image, I saw one such scenario that would work.

 

You could say that every image should be viewed under a bank of daylight bulbs for consistence of evaluation, picture to picture. But I think that would be an artistically naive opinion.

So much for Leica's supposedly superior optics.

I just put vasoline on my Nikors :)

Michael, I like your flickr series a lot! It's not only (but also) about the colors, it's the mysterious atmosphere they convey. A very successful experiment, IMHO. Explore!

One of my slow film panning experiments that wasn't quite in sync. M4, 90mm TE, Ilford Pan-F ....

Do any of you jokers shave? If so, with what?
