The Waiting Game

 

Every picture tells a story! (I hope!)

 

Feedbackappreciated.

 

a tell tale story, indeed, David. I love the way you turn your back on all the stereotypical 'rules' photographers tend to be stuck to. Cheers to you.

I have a funny feeling you may be the only person that thinks so Bettie. I am wondering which 'rules I did not follow.' Thanks!

Instantly I'm drawn to the empty space beside the lady on the mattress. It does match the caption you have put it there. Interesting concept indeed.

The subject's look out of the frame, likely at someone, to me creates a sense of wanting that person. The unmade bed is hardly empty and likely to be less so. OK, a psychiatrist would have a field day with that interpretation but I do like the photograph.

!!!!

Daniel, I am glad you mention the space. The reason I mention you mentioning it may become clear in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

 

Mark, All that matters is you like the photograph. What your psychiatrist would say may be more interesting than the image. I can't remember if there was anyone else present or not and if there is, I am not sure if she is looking at this other person. It was taken some years ago.

 

Drew, ???

I truly like this image, and not just because it is in BW. The sense of depth created by the angle of the mattress Nd the angle of the intersection of the walls is very well done.. I also love the little bit of curtain in the upper right corner.The crop of the models arms is more of something that I would do than your usual practice.

 

In short, I don't think there is anything I don't like about it.

 

-Cheers

Kind words! I didn't think this image would get much attention. I realised what attention it would get would be from people who understand photography. Thanks a lot.

I have been out of commission for a while as I had a stroke in February 2007.

 

At the moment I have no voice so cannot speak and as I only have use of one arm, writing is slow and difficult for me.

But I love reading your messages, so please keep them coming!

 

My code : !!!! = this means I think your work is very good.

For someone who is a little (a lot) handicapped at the moment, you are giving a lot of comments. They are appreciated. I am not sure which comments of mine you are referring to but I will try to keep them coming. Thanks!
