h._p. 2 Posted July 16, 2003 I don't think it does much for me. The window does act as a nice frame for the chap but the rest of the image is rather cluttered. I especially don't like the waste bin. Link to comment
jerry_squires 0 Posted July 16, 2003 Hum.... I tend to find myself looking to see whats within the picture. What is the green shityed guy doing? What is the entrance to? What is behind the other door? This is kind of catchy. Link to comment
smhickel 0 Posted July 17, 2003 Jerry, I agree, this is another side of photography, the where's waldo photo! ;-) Link to comment
jon w. 0 Posted July 17, 2003 It's incredibly crisp and sharp (is this what a Leica lens does for you?) but under that, I'm not sure that it grabs me much. There's nothing wrong with working with a common motif (the 'frame within the frame') but when faced with such a compositional motif, I try to ask, 'why now and not then', 'why this particular window and this particular person'. Possibly you have an answer, but I can't quite figure it out myself. Link to comment
smhickel 0 Posted July 18, 2003 Jonathan, Yes, that is the penache of Leica and its glass. To me, I see a railroad engineer driving a skillet and bottle, but then that is just me. Thanks, Steve Link to comment
