john_crosby 0 Posted March 16, 2004 Having recently given up digital photography and gone back to film, I would appreciate your critique, however virulent. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 16, 2004 What a coincidence!!. See this one please: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1941425 Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 16, 2004 I guess there are a million similar pictures, but this one was particularly easy to take. I liked your one - has a comic Italian feel. Link to comment
eric_gilbert1 0 Posted March 16, 2004 I like it, It is original. Nice portrait of life Link to comment
robert goldstein 0 Posted March 17, 2004 The necktie, sleeves and hair tell a lot about what kind of a day this guy was having. Nice capture. Link to comment
walterh 0 Posted March 17, 2004 yes a lucky shot - but we all know just being lucky doesnt make a good shot - a lucky good photographer does :-) lovely cheers walter Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 18, 2004 Maria, I left you comment below the picture. Hope you think I was fair. Could you comment on your 3/3 for this one? John Link to comment
george_schroeder1 0 Posted March 18, 2004 What is going on with this guy's sleeves. I am glad you came back home to film. Have you ever tried Efke? Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 18, 2004 No never tried it. Is it easy to develop? The sleeves were not the only thing strange about this guy I can tell you. I find it funny all the thousands of people who looked at the picture maybe never noticed the "truth" behind the picture. It's totally a real shot and unmanipulated in any way. And was spontaneous. I just saw this opportunity and had to photograph it. It's nearly Friday so unless someone guesses I will reveal all tomorrow. Link to comment
mcsimard 0 Posted March 19, 2004 How about: "the guy is not in motion" for an answer to the mystery of your intriguing picture! Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Gagné - But why then isn't he in motion? I do detect a hint of sarcasm in your response? Or am I being parano? Link to comment
mcsimard 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Dear John (this is not a dear John letter), maybe the guy is a mannequin or a mime? I'm sorry you thought I was sarcastic. I wasn't. I like your picture! Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Chapeau Marie-Claude, vous etes la seule personne qui a devine la verite. La cravate, et la chemise etaient en fer. Cette personne etait totallement immobile. La seule difficulte pour moi etait le fait qu'il y avait au moins cinquante personnes a gauche qui le regardaient stupefie par son discipline. Mes excuses pour mon Francais de pietre qualite, et je suis content que vous n'etiez pas decue par la verite. On verra si les autres sont aussi perspicaces que vous! Link to comment
sprouty 0 Posted March 19, 2004 There is nothing to reveal. The shot was obviously staged, even if you took no part in the production. Link to comment
john_crosby 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Monsieur Prouty - It's especially obvious given that the explanation is already written above. No prize coconut for you I'm afraid. Link to comment
lissahatcher 0 Posted March 19, 2004 This caught my eye right away ....I enjoyed it yes it has a few minor flaws but they do not matter to me still a great image and a fun capture! Link to comment
sprouty 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Well lucky for me, since I don't like coconuts. But all kidding aside I must say I'm a bit confused as to some of the high ratings and a few of the comments. It just surprises me that (as you mention above) so few people on a photography site would not understand what they are looking at. Link to comment
