conrgats on a very well deserved honor. it's so great to see these beautiful creatures up close, considering they are so awesome to study, yet so hard to come across in this magnitude. your work is educational and unique. thanks so much for sharing it.

thanks so much for your comments on my recent folder additions. when i scanned this one, the color was right on my computer. now, looking at it on another monitor they seem altered. the original is a very soft nice magenta/rouge. i'd tweak it in ps, but i recently moved (hence the delayed response) and i'm between computers at the moment, so i have no way to alter it. thanks again for your comments- they are always appreciated.

very nice! do you mind explaining this technique a little further?

February 24, 2003

This is wonderful, reminds me of a Courbet painting. Color and composition superb. Great shot.

Sure, I'd love to explain it, it's pretty simple if you have the right equipment. Start by shooting color slide film, take color slides and put them in a polaroid daylab machine, using polaroid 669 film. Once you transfer the images to the film from the slides (via daylab), take the picture and put it in boiling water for about 4 minutes, then put it in regular temp (70ish) water. While in the boiling water, the emulsion bubbles up and after placing it in cooler water, you can just "push" the image right off the film, then your left with a floating image you can put on any surface. I've used watercolor paper a lot, or you can use cd covers, brown paper bags, wood, brick- whatever you want. I hope this is clear. :)

I agree with Bill, nice crop and best image of the rally. cheers

It may not be original, but it's still damn good. Nice shot, Ken.

I remember this one... It's great to see the movement of the dancers.. Very nice, Ken.

Great shot! Subject matches wonderfully with film choice. Very good 1st attempt. Cheers..

All valid points as always, but I would raise this question to you- my reason for not cropping the left side more was the existing symmetry with the banisters on either side. Do you think cropping it would aid and not hinder the composition? I always like your advice, thanks for offering it.

Getting closer to the statue would mean sacrificing the line made by the lights on top.. I'm not sure if I'm willing to do that. This photo holds so many "if I improve it this way, I'll lose it that way" aspects to it. It's tricky.

Having foolishly written my post first and then returned to read the thread afterwards, I notice my comment closely echos another towards the top. Sorry for the repetition, I'll blame it on the old 'great minds' saying. :)

I remember seeing this one some time ago, and my feelings towards it have since not changed. I still find it as compelling as I did before. At first glance, you see a beautiful arrangement of color and line, with a closer examination reveiling the structure peppered with bullet holes. Contrast (in every sense of the word) is observed in this photo. The color also brings it to life. Yellow is one of the happiest colors we have, and here it's juxtaposed with one of the most detrimental situations humans can bring upon themselves and their neighbors. Great POW choice Elves, and wonderful shot John- congrats.

Nice attempt, but I think it falls a little short. Perhaps a tighter crop? Clean it up a bit? The bottom is very distracting.

Beautiful picture. The soft feel compliments the woman's delicate femininity. Just lovely. Congratulations on a well-deserved POW.

i really like the use of line and contrasting colors in this shot. nice work. I wish the moon was more to the left, though.. it's distracting how close it is to the edge.

Nice abstract, vivid colors. I like the grain because you can pick up many different colors within it as well. Nice work.

January 23, 2003

Thanks for the comment. This is not a self portrait, it's a shot of my old roommate (same girl with Marylin in another shot in this folder)

The heavy saturation in the sky works well with this image, nice DOF choice as well. The cactus in the foreground could be sharper.

January 8, 2003

I love the choices you made concerning the development processes of this photo. Excellent. Your vision couldn't have been more right-on.

Happy 2003 For all Photo.Net members !! · January 3, 2003

Nick! this is great! Happy New Years to you as well. Cheers!
