Episcopal Sin?

I really believe that once you start looking real hard for a long time, the shots start coming to you. After awhile you start to say to yourself "I could'nt make this stuff up if I tried". You ever get that feeling? The striped umbrella, the graphics in the sign, the woman's face and the dark clouds in the background - you could'nt make this up if you tried.

Yes! Tim said it. 'The womans face'. The mouth. The glasses. A photo with a BANG...

I totally agree with you Tim. I couldn't make this up if I tried! I really think 2/3 of photography is seeing well. Yes the technical stuff matters, but I don't think vision can be taught. The photographers I most admire have an uncanny way of seeing things. They catch things most people would miss, or strive to come up with interesting perspectives to things everyone sees. The more time you spend looking, the more you begin to see. At least that's my story ;-)

 

 

 

my fav from this series.

ps: btw, you can use the tags while posting inline in the forums. it will align your pics to the center.

Thanks for the tip balaji.

I see something like this and I really start to wonder. This person not only spent the time to create the poster but then went beyond that to wear it to express their (obviously strongly held) opinion. I'm somewhere between impressed and dumbfounded.

 

Anyway great image.

nice one Jenna. those vacuum-eyes and umbrella-vortex are great!

Thanks SP and Suvi.

One of the most well balanced photographs I've seen here. This seems like award winning stuff to me. I like the illustration too. Must be for the people who don't know what a real pal is.

...like an immanent piggy-back ride, 'Hop on, I'll carry you a while.'
