Yosun! Good to see your still shooting. I Just got back from your folders.

Hey ! Thanks alot! I have been working crazy hours in the U.K. Just started doing some non commercial photography the other day and this was one of the first images. Glad I got someones attention! hehe.

Thanks

Thank you for you comments.

No. My shoulder would have problems seeing my composition. hehe.

Hey RahRah! Sure man come on down ! Dont come for a few months though, Saybian is kicking it in SanFran right now and Im in the Uk for now. Heck come out here , lots of food for thought and juice for the emulsionally oriented of us out here!

Hahha amazing! I see her in 20 years with the exact same expression!

you can do lots with it since you chose more rather than less depth of field. If I was compositing this particular composition I may have opted for much less.

I was looking closer and you could make very many very interesting versions of this image with cropping. perhaps with the top portion leaving out the back ground etc. A gold mine in the base of that wonderful tree!

Very beautiful texture in this image! It is almost a tear in space. A void from which may come the unthinkable. I would like to go inside!

This is a very beautiful image! It has great texture and contrast. I enjoy the shapes you have created for my eyes!

Thank you!

 

This is a timeless image. Superb work! the only thing is that the texture in teh dark areas lack grain perhaps you can match middle in photoshop as a layer then blend. Wonderful

A self portrait itself does an image crop. See with new eyes if you can , for the old eyes lead down the beaten path of assumption greed and vanity.

Angst perhaps or something gentle that smells like lost trust in a room full of ice and flowers.

You are not the picture . The picture is you.

power is knowledge.

great work L.!

wow thats great. From a distance, I had first thought of a giant snake eating a pair of jeans!

I like the square also.

Hahaha. Indeed!.

 

I imagine a bus stop or school yard , mothers pushing strollers while talking on the cell phones men with brief cases and.... bubbles not gum but balloons. Perhaps the balloons contain a new chimical that keeps the addictable away from the other substances while keeping the government owned balloons the mega money maker of the future. Would you trade your bad habit for a balloon owned by the government?

I had the same thoughts. It was an interesting ordeal. A balanced day.

Yeah, the red line is strong but this was a spur of the momment candid unplanned shot caught in action so repositioning which would have aloud me to reframe the shot excluding the line would give me no action slap in action.

Thanks Tamara. I first did a series of stretches to make sure that It wouldnt be then end of me. Hehe. I put a stand in model in position first to get the right framing and balance. Then I tried to relax as to not mess up the angles I wanted to get.

Indeed this is a very well taken photo. I enjoy looking at it. The textures continued as fabric thoughout make ita very rough fabric meets soft skin type of image. Nice. Nice light too. Good location.Perhaps the left panel could be aligned with the frame but.. Hey its great.

I like this shot. Nice for a live music shot. Good job. I like the colours you left. Works well. My fav, in this folder.

Lost the stage

unworthy of rage free sents

I burn here my sage.

destroy putrefaction

made innocuous of my love

a thought disconnected lost touch erected

time lapse relationships pursed lips

loose let my lips sink not my ships

for my fear to disincline led me away..

That looks a little scary. I always wanted to walk along those to the end and watch the raging water beside me as it would want to swallow me and take me to its own collective home. I think i was scared. The sky was never so grey, though in a black and white image the sky can be eternal and grey and blue as it holds you responsible for filling in the blanks..
