Jack McRitchie 150 Posted February 3, 2008 What a great natural collage, David, not only well seen but perfectly executed. Link to comment
mark_q 0 Posted February 3, 2008 This is a Hot Hit! I would be hard pressed to deliver something on the same level. Certainly one of the very very best I have seen lately. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks to both of you. I was just cruising around, fishing for images, and saw this one as well as several others. Link to comment
alight 0 Posted February 3, 2008 how did the painted dude know that there would be a garbage bin there (he seems to be pointing at it)? Interesting colour combinations. Certainly, the garbage container helps to make the image. Well seen. Cheers, Micheal Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 3, 2008 By now you may have deduced that many of my images either have garbage containers in them, or belong in garbage containers. I'm having fun making you guys think about that. And, maybe the garbage container was there when they painted the guy, and he is a mental note to throw your trash in a container. Who knew?

katzpjs 50 Posted February 3, 2008 I once heaped praise on an image as having the best trash container that I'd ever seen. You have just outdone that other image. I've saved a copy of your larger image and I may have to use it as a CD cover for some of my classical music. A great image and not deserving of the bin. Link to comment
susan stone 0 Posted February 3, 2008 David you have "trash can Karma", I think....this is great! The funny thing, well there's several, is that the bricks look painted on, this feels like several images "chained" together....the brick wall, the blue wall, the black wall, it's hard to tell what's real and I love that about this image. You did a good job on rendering the colors too. One man's junk is another man's symphony. A "Meyer's" classic....folks are going to start calling your work "Meyer's" due to product recognition....sorta like "Coors", and you know it's quality. Link to comment
jeffl7 0 Posted February 4, 2008 This impresses at so many levels. First, color-wise there's a limited, but incredibly effective palette, which gives an initial visual massage before you're sucker-punched by the sheer weight behind the prettiness. And then the world is deconstructed into ownership and trash. And the dandy in the background has to look away. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 4, 2008 Gosh, Shawn, it's just an ordinary trash receptacle. But I'll graciously accept the "Best Trash Can Picture of the Night" award from you. I am humbled. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks. I think a "trash can mind" would most aptly describe my state, but let's not quibble. Now about that brand recognition thing. Couldn't you have used something more elegant than Coors? You are becoming a master at backhanded compliments. I remember a few images ago that your comment was you loved to come look at my stuff so you could read others' comments. What a pal! LOL Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 4, 2008 Love the analysis. Glad to see you back. Hope to see some new posts from you soon. Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Dave: I like everything about this image -- content, execution, and ironic wit. All Dave Meyer hallmarks. Quite a statement, and one helluva shot. Regards... Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted February 4, 2008 Aside from the" impossible" composition ( a fact that it is possible... with the right eye)what caought my eye first was the reserved and private property... The funny thing is, the finger of the figure pointing to the " reserved" ( probably private ...;-)) garbage can .... the colors, situation, composition, all is really original, David. Link to comment
laurent_jaussi 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Superb colors and composition....glad you were there to capture this little miracle.... Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks. I think it pales in comparison to several of your street photos. Link to comment
