best to you

I don't get the originality scale/ If this is at the bottom/ and the concept is stale/ let me know/ where you saw it before/ or something in the idea/that makes you snore

A little bit off from the original, but not that much. Mostly just

modified for color and contrast. I like the combination of what's

inside the window (that long beam of light), what's behind me across

the street, and what is on the window itself (my reflection doubled)

I had an image of spray paint graffiti, scratches, paint and torn

posters on a bright yellow cargo container. My problem is where to put

the frame. This is my take on it. This might be an interesting

Photo,net project.

This ( for me) is a straight -up photograph, with some tweaks for

contrast and sharpness and 15% of the PhotoShop Dry Brush filter.

Not as far from the original image of this street corner as you might

think. Parisians like to hang huge banners from ten story buildings to

advertise and celebrate, which makes coming into an intersection like

this right out of the Metro a real visual delight for me. I hope I did

it justice. Thanks for looking at my image and for your comments,

Joni Mitchell wrote a song about this guy.:

" I deal in dreamers/

and telephone screamers/

Lately wonder what I do it for/

If I had my way/

I'd just walk through those doors/

And wander/

Down the Champs Elysees/

Going cafe to Cabaret/

Thinking how I'll feel when I find/

That very good friend of mine."********

- Joni Mitchell

As usual thanks for taking time to to look at my image

Pirate girls always keep a skabuk in their bikini or is a tattoo?

Based on an FSA (public domain) image of migrant workers from the

'bracero' program in the 1940's. Created with about ten or twelve

other images to create the dense field I am working on these days.

Thanks for looking at my image and for your comments, ideas and

suggestions, When I get just "three" ratings and no comments. I take

that to mean that the viewer does not see this as a photograph, but as

digital art with photographic aspects . Fair enough.

Thanks fro your kind words. When I am out with a camera, I am thinking mostly like a photographer, in the instance of making this image and the image of the oranges on the table within it, I spent a lot of time making sure the image on my camera was just what i wanted in photographic terms. But I have found that PhotoShop is a very different process, there I have the freedom to move or recreate my original photographic images in a more painterly direction, Often this is a very intuitive process, because I can pull images from a file that spans forty years. I like that freedom and PhotoShop allows me to work in this direction without spending thousand of hours and dollars to create a single complex image. I spent most of my career with a Mamiya twin lens and black and white film making very carefully composed and processed and printed images. Now those look kind of constipated and stiff to me, but I still like to reach back and integrate one of those into what I'm doing now

One of my favorite cities in Mexico, particularly this time of year

from the perspective of Olympia, Washington.In some ways this image is

the reverse of my last post, Thanks for looking at my image and for

your comments, ideas and suggestions

Recovering from pneumonia, thinking about a place in Mexico where

there are gardens of blooming gardenias, and a tree with a ripe

papaya to pluck for breakfast... but I'm in Olympia. Thanks for

looking at my image and for your comments. ideas and suggestions.

I tend not to believe in an all-encompassing deity, but often it seems

as if angels have touched my life. That's the only way I can explain

how I got this far. Thanks for looking at my image and for your ideas,

For some reason, I am now unable to post my images in the "Critique Forum". This is a piece I did to celebrate my new grand-daughter.

Thanks to Neil Young for the title. Somehow the pinks keep pulling me

back in and the image of the woman with her bicycle that I made in

Holland has a more powerful aspect here than when I posted as a single

image several months ago. As per my usual thought, I don't care if

you love it or hate it, but your thoughtful comments are always

welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for looking at my image, partially based on a FSA image by

Arthur Rothstein from 1940.

what's real for me might be something you saw flappin' in the breeze.

Thanks for looking at my image and for your comments, ideas and

suggestions as my work moves more and more away from what you might

call photography. It's all made from photographic images, so that's

where I try to maintain the connection.

Thanks "3" guy. Hitting it with the double "3's" and drifting away is not moving this forward in any direction I can use. I don't care if you hate it or not. Not what I'm getting at here

seth

DO images sometimes come up for in unexpected shapes, sizes and

configurations; not like you set up the shot, more like where did that

come from? That's not the way I shoot? This is one of those for me.

Something about it I like, something that makes it hard to just say

forget it,and walk away ( I've got plenty of projects), I want to keep

tweaking it till it works-

your thoughts?

On the same afternoon as the "pears" image, I found this sunflower

dripping from the hard rain moments before. A day of amazing soft

light,slightly overcast in a way to make all growing things with

colors glow as if they were lit internally.
