jcpopper 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Great shot. Nice use of structure as frame. Fine texture and composition. And I really like your "new" palette. Regards... Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 19, 2007 Thanks a lot. Now quit looking and get some new posts up. I've been waiting. Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Dave, My system crashed three days ago. Some sort of complex but but fixable screw up in the OS. Now I'm using an ancient laptop to keep up with the site. The monitor's not good enough to do any real work, so I haven't bothered loading it with my essential programs. Even with that limitation, though, your new pics are jumping out at me. I'll post some new work as soon as I get my stuff back from the shop. Meanwhile, I'm using this down time to appreciate and encourage and learn from some of the good work being posted here. Regards, Joe Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Ah, early television with one channel. The framing works well. I think Bessie knows she's being watched. Link to comment
alight 0 Posted September 19, 2007 I second the comments above. I also like the crooked background. You realize the photo has no straight lines? Remarkable. Another D.M. feast is fitting two cows in a hole that a big bottle of V8 would have trouble passing through. You're a magician. Cheers, Micheal Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 19, 2007 Indeed, early television. I hadn't thought about it, but have you ever gone past some rundown half decayed skeleton of a structure and then noticed a dish or old fashioned tv antenna? Well they don't have any of those out here on the homesteads. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 19, 2007 I hadn't thought about the straight line thing. Pretty good point, although I think there might be a couple in there. Link to comment
laurentlacoste 0 Posted September 19, 2007 David, this is a nice follower to your Windows Vista, Ready for Winter and Against The Grain pictures. This one, as well as the others, is a winner. Go West, young mOOOOOan! Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 19, 2007 Thanks. Actually, I went East to get all these, since I live in California. I'm about out of my trip pictures, so I shall have to start relying on what little ingenuity I have to produce some images. Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted September 20, 2007 But they DID have a radio out here, did you photograph it? I love your TV show for its colors and scenes but the plot is not much to moo about. A great shot of the very tall window, I like the it! Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 20, 2007 Well, the plot may not be much to moo about, but you keep going back to the stage to see what's going on. Must be some attraction besides Susan's home cooking, which is a considerable attraction. I did take a number of photos of the radio and couch, but was not sufficiently pleased with any of them to be posting them. I've about run out of images from the trip, and will have to start relying on my wit and luck to come up with anything now. How BORING! Link to comment
baerbel 0 Posted September 20, 2007 David, how nice of these two cows to pose for you like that! :) But even without them this image is very interesting and extremely well composed. Great job! Regards, Barb Link to comment
Emmanuel Enyinwa 0 Posted September 21, 2007 The texture of the wood, of course, is the obvious story here, but of course, this a portrait of two cows, not that they mind playing second bannana to the wood. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 21, 2007 Tony: Thanks so much. Your comments are appreciated. emmanuel: That should have been the title--"Portrait of two cows." Well, can't think of everything. As always your erudite and cogent commentary is most welcome. This is about the last of my trip images. I'm going to try my damndest to not bore all you fine folks with any more run down old sheds or cabins at least for awhile. Thanks to all of you for bearing with me. I had to get them out there. Now they are out there and I shall try to move on. Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted September 21, 2007 Please bore us with your masterpieces,David:-) Very unusual and beautiful composition. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted September 21, 2007 This is another very strong composition and you use the opening well to show us the world beyond, as you have done in other of your works. If I would offer some criticism it would be in the precise framing of the distant cows which seems a little "precious". Having picked that nit (and a highly personal nit it is), I have to say as an abstract composition it's powerful and beautifully composed. Link to comment
susan stone 0 Posted September 23, 2007 It's a very Moooving composition, moooove to the left enough and you'd only have one cow, mooove to the right enough and you'd have only one cow, but one plus one is two, moooove way up and you'd probably have no cows, same to the bottom, but any way you go it's still a moooving picture. I'm still enjoying your Montana images so keep digging David. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 23, 2007 Where the hell you been? Missed you. I'm sorry to have to inform you that as near as I can tell, we are about to the end of the Montana photos. Only thing I know to do is come back up and see you again. "Somewhere in the middle of Montana........." Link to comment
susan stone 0 Posted September 23, 2007 You have no idea how often I play that song.....I've either been working or gone, spent last Thursday and Friday being a Grandma taking care of three little kiddo's all under the age of five, one of which came down with a 24 hour flu bug. We're starting to get busy "somewhere in the middle of Montana"! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted October 13, 2007 David, as I have written you before I love wondows, the in/out it represents. this is a gem! the way you have composed it is super. As it is such an old wood, we don't really know if it is an outside wall that still has a window...in any event I loved the wood's texture and form is very interesting, as it looks like a patch on patch, the history of holding it together, and the skewed form of the whole....and than the pastoral other side with the two cows, but especially the blue sky peeping in between. Simply wonderful! Link to comment
