    Wow, this is a really cool photo. I like the little sign: "I'd card my own mother" I like these pictures that are really dense with information, but it all seems to hang together as a composition. I think you achieved that here. The bright spot being off-center and the guy on the right keeps it all from being too symmetrical.

    Thanks Balaji. I think I took this not long after seeing Friedlander's "Sticks and Stones" exhibit, which has lots of shots with the interior of his car, so for me I see this and just think of it as derivative. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. It's good to hear you like it.
  1. Sweetness. Thanks for the tip, Balaji. I'll have to check out that book too. Speaking of films, I just moved to Berkeley and discovered the awesomest video store I've ever seen just a few blocks from my apartment, so I'm gonna have to check out some more of Wenders's movies. That and I live within a block of four theatres. I'm in a movie buff's paradise.
  2. I'd have said "Alice in the Cities" :) Honestly though, you guys are good. Those are three of my favorite movies. But PT is probably my fave of the three, actually, so you were right on Andrew. Balaji, better luck next time, haha. So I knew Wenders was a still photographer, but I haven't really checked out his stuff much. Got any suggestions? BTW, I appreciate your comments, you guys are among the best here on pnet, no joke.
  3. thanks guys. I've been taking more Polaroids lately, as per your suggestion, Balaji. Good idea. You're right, I'm less inhibited with the 'roid. I think since there's less technical stuff to think about, there's less delay between my intuition and pushing the button. i.e. my brain doesn't get in the way. And since polaroids seem so disposable, there isn't any worry about whether it will be a good or bad shot. I need to approach my other stuff the same way, i think.

    Great picture. Can't think of much else to say about it at this time, because I'm sure I don't fully understand what's going on here, but it has definitely made a strong impression on me.
