The Inner Voice Cries Out

One walks the streets alone, often, while one's 'Inner Voice' often

wants to cry out, as illustrated here, in Vienna, Austria. Your ratings

and critiques are invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly or very

critically, please submit a helpful and constructive comment; please

share your superior photographic knowledge to help improve my

photography. Thanks! Enjoy! John

I would have said it was yours a mile away. NOW, if you would just let me have it to post process that silly white on the trees I would clone it for you (I kid, I kid) :)

 

I actually like it that way as it brings the truth to the picture as the light (sun) was probably setting right there or somewhere in that position.

 

I love the grain of the picture as it reminds me of the 70's photography that you have kind of "have a unique style of doing".

 

Keep waiting for that coffee book of yours to come out at Barnes and Nobles.

 

You know I would buy one.

 

But I sound like a broken record.

 

I would say that on most of your pictures, as you have always been a favorite of mine here on PN. I am so sorry I have been away so much but I have been really busy.

 

Got myself a D300 YIPPY! Nope, that wasn't a complete sentence. HA! LOL (I can't write a complete sentence and yell YIPPY at the same time)

 

You take care, micki

I saw the people drinking in the bars in San Jose before the Sharks playoffs so I knew last week the hockey season you were photographing was coming to a close . . . the sharks have the most famous logo in the NHL -- I've even seen it in Moscow and Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine.

 

A D300, now i have two, and they're fantastic but I often use my D200s just to hoard the precious D300s for low light as well as my other super good cameras since i tend to 'use' cameras heavily.

 

Who could have guessed.

 

I started to use my first so i sold it and it had quite a few shutter counts on it and got two new ones with no shutter counts on them and USA imports at a distress sale (paid full price but the rest of the stuff was amazingly cheap).

 

Micki, I missed ya, as you can tell.

 

My Photoshopper in Ukraine has me hung up, 2/3 finished for two months and keep[s promising me . . . till now i hardly believe his promises of delivery. And then he went on vacation to the Black Sea for a week or two. So here i sit, broken hearted, same to photograph and only (well you get the point) (in the USA).

 

Mean to be in Ukraine with my best friend).

 

But I intend on that book, and galleries too, but I increasingly understand books never return more than their initial payment, then they end up on the discount table for $5.00 and then as publisher returns, so who wants that fate?

 

I intend on making it seriously.

 

I do like your comments . . . and it was sunset or after when I took this . . you are a good student of my photographs.

 

And of course the painting litho, foreground reveals much about the tones -- when you have grays to work with, grays is what you get with me. No conversions to total black and white -- just true tonalities and not boosting them much.

 

Glad to have you back and look forward to seeing you more.

 

;~)

You won't believe it but I am actually doing "photography" work. HA

 

I am doing a wedding with Andrew on the beach next Saturday so we a preparing for it. I am pretty nervous but you know you just do what you have to do.

 

But, I figure I have shot my camera (or a camera) every day for the last what 365 days about 200 times. :)

 

Lots of practice. YEP!

Sometimes the inner voice can be ugly but we decide to listen. When I look at this composition and your title I think of the situations that we face having to choose whether to do the right or wrong thing.

And I've sold one photo in the last 35 years but hoping for gallery representation.

 

You've done it a different way, the way I might have done it at a different age.

 

My mentor says 'aim for the top - you're too old to start at the bottom and you have enough talent to make it at the top', '(if you're lucky' -- and he'll help me get the breaks -- he already has by going through all my photos and teaching and sharing his instincts, so I have absorbed many of them and rather quickly).

 

They now are becoming reflected in what I post here and on Photocritiq.com (go see it and beware of the site's unusual spelling.)

 

I've missed you.

 

Come on back . . . often.

(hoping to be famous one day, but if you like my photos that's pretty good for me)
