ljk 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Nice to see you....I like this one of the new three...the pollution is almost poetic! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Yes I am back from a very nice vacation in Italy. Did last week spend a day on the Dutch coast in a place called IJmuiden. it does have this heavy steel industry. Interesting material for photography. Link to comment
pauljacob 0 Posted August 27, 2004 Hi Mike, I too prefer this one of the 3photos as the best. Good work. Greetings Paul Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted August 28, 2004 Just to be different I prefer your previous shot but there is some good smoke here! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 29, 2004 I am interested in the aesthetics of industry. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 29, 2004 Hi Mike,The smoke realy has a presence here, and looks like clouds in the sky....I like all 3 of them, that one and the previous one are the strongest. Pnina Link to comment

photos of hans koot 0 Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Mike, alive ? like this one most. "Hey I am big!" "Yeah, but I produce more smoke" cough cough....... Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Well, this answers the question on your other post - if those were clouds or pollution. Guess this one says it all! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Yes Hans this is one macho shimney;))) Howard and Kim, to be honest, polution is not my item here, but I understand the idea. I am fascinated by the difference of my reality and the world of heavy industry, at the same time I like to frame this in the aesthetic context of its own domain. The plum out of the chimney is steam, water is used to chill the hot steel. The other side of this plant seems to be very poluted, so there is terror, let see it as the beauty of terror.

navarra 0 Posted August 31, 2004 I really like this kind of "landscapes". I think you could work on this subject for a lot of time and find many great images. Do you know industrial photographers earn a lot of money as well? :) Simone Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Thanks for the tip, industrial photographer, but I am to much a butterfly. For instance in my Italian Hollyday I did much on cooking and landscape. To be honest I tryed to sell some of my material to SHELL Netherland, work I did on Pernis refineries, but they let me know that they work with own photographers and freelancers, did not need new faces. Pitty to me but fair to the custom artists. Link to comment
navarra 0 Posted August 31, 2004 At least they answered! Last time I sent pictures to stock agencies I didn't even get a response :-) Simone Link to comment
photos of hans koot 0 Posted August 31, 2004 I've never even tried, sounds like a splendid idea, making money with photos. Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 31, 2004 we should try a stocklibrary ourselfs or even try to convince PN as an intermidiate. would be a nice collection and good competition to these arrogant formal stockholders ;))) Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Thank you for passing by, I enjoy your visits. Link to comment
rachael jane 0 Posted September 1, 2004 I like your subject and toning on all of your recent uploads. The dark exposure exagerates the smoke. Very good. Link to comment
