isaac madera 1 Posted July 31, 2005 The horizon is at a slant, I wounder if the ground was just at a slope because the phone pole looks pretty vertical. But anyway, what a great photo. I'm loving the sense of an old fashion time. The contrast is excelent! Very good work here!! Link to comment
toja.com 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Just FYI... I needed a higher point of view... My hassie has the "chimney" and I am only 5'10", so I had to take this shot holding the camera upside down... If you had a chance to try it once, you will see how hard it is to keep the camera straight:) Horizon might be slant- Meteor crater is just to the right of the pole and the edges of it are raised a 100 ft or so. I would not trust the poles... they are all over the place and I do not see one that is perfectly vertical.. :) regards. Link to comment
isaac madera 1 Posted July 31, 2005 Yea I agree, after a second long stare, I notice that the poles look pretty old and warped to hell. I only ask about the ground being at a natural slope because I'm from southern california and the deserts out there have random hills where the ground kind of slopes up to it. This almost looks like a california desert. Hope I didnt offend you with my comment. I was only curious to know. Often I will be so cought up in the moment of a good shot that I find myself not caring whats going on in the background. Link to comment

bill_boyd 0 Posted August 1, 2005 This photo suggests a whole story, and my imagination immediately runs off to fill in the plot. I have taken some good photos with the Hassy raised overhead as well, to gain height as you did. Don't worry about the trolls--it's probably envy. :) Link to comment
haleh b 0 Posted August 2, 2005 I keep wondering how long this car has been sitting there. How did you manage to get anyone interested to go out there with you in that heat? Link to comment

ken_thalheimer 3,739 Posted August 6, 2005 One very good shot. I have no problem with the horizon. The pole is straight. I too have tried the Hassie upside down. Not easy by any means Link to comment
avid 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Well conceived and exposed black&white photo. I am inspired. Link to comment
mg 0 Posted September 24, 2005 Aesthetics are as good, or even better than the other one, but I think the other one has a nicer touch of dark humor. This one would therefore "only" be the second best for me. Regards. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted November 27, 2005 Most of what I could say has already been said. This really is a wonderful piece of photography. I can only admire it. Link to comment
a_petkov 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Wow! Ilove it. Is it the 50mm lens for Hasselblad? Link to comment
charliexia 0 Posted January 26, 2006 ...so when are we going to get to see more pictures? ;-) Link to comment
gary_gumanow 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Just saw your photos on photoblink and googled you to see others. Nice work. Looks like the princess is waiting for her ride. Maybe her cell phone doesn't work out in the desert. Link to comment
