Taken two years ago with my Mavica. I wish I had a more head on

angle but it fits with his "Jesus of Suburbia" song.

Beautiful shot!

Thanks Sarah. I just love South of the Border. I could spend days photographing their paper mache/concrete animals and Pedro statues. I am so surprised that this place has remained virtually untouched for so long.

Thank you so much for your comments. I too wish his finger were not clipped but I was so afraid they would change their mind and take my camera away that I took my shots as quickly as possible. I feel blessed just having seen and listened to him play live. Getting a better than decent picture was a bonus =)

I was not prepared to take pictures at this show, but others were

taking them so I took out the Sony CD-500 I had brought "just in

case." I blackened the subjects and lights in thebackground to

eliminate any distractions. An alternate version I made is not square

but, rather has some extra black space onthe right side.

The blur is probably due to my drive by shooting (that can't be safe). I had to wait for this big van to pass...

Thank you. I like that. I was so eager to get it up that I didn't consider trying to remove the fence.

Good point Kathryn. I almost hate adding it sometimes... Perhaps, I should start putting it in the framed part. I was expecting someone to comment that the symmetry is technically off a bit. As soon as I posted the request, I took another look & realized that it is indeed slightly off. Thank you for the comments =)

I thought it was an interesting perspective with good symmetry.

Comments & critiques welcome (as per usual).

Thank you =)

She was definitely intentional about her easily bored look. I didn't plan on the Superman shirt but it worked. I found these boxes at work & blocked out the brand name & other distracting markings to highlight the "Power" & "Brilliance." I was taking pictures of just the boxes but it seemed more appropriate with my "models." If I have a reshoot, perhaps, I will give her my fake librarian glasses. Thank you for commenting, Bill =)

I love the colors & dramatic lighting. Beautiful shot!

I was looking to find a "different" angle & I kind of like that parts

of the Washington Square arch are cut off. Questions, comments

welcome. Thank you =)

Biliana, thank you!

Thank you. I was quite far actually. It was through a fence, 300mm. The post from the fence fell on the other side of his face.

I liked how sharp the ear was, but I didn't like the background so I

did some work on it. I was just wondering what others thought.

Thank you!

Great shot! I like how you can see the people walking & even those on the top of the mountain.

This is edited from two pictures only because I couldn't get the background clear with one shot. The original is attached.

Yes, it kind of does!

This is as shot, save for removing a piece of bright white paper from

the corner of a brick. I left part of the sewer grate there to add

realism. Should I cut it? I have another shot that is closer.

Comments, critiques appreciated. Thank You!

I just loved this dog. Would you crop the Beamer out of the right

side? Or blur the background a little? Comments/suggestions always

welcome. Thank you!

It was a noose I saw while working on the short lived TV show "Jonny Zero". I couldn't think of a better title. I had seen so many crazy things that day, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I'm not supposed to have a camera on set, so I had just a few seconds to get this right & hurry a shot.

I got rather lucky, shooting this through a fence with little after

effects of the fence. Comments, critiques welcome. I have an

uncropped version that shows more, but the signs of the chain link

fence are more evident in it.

Thank you!

He really was balancing himself perpendicular to the tree. I thought it was a more interesting photo when I rotated it though.

Wow, that's awesome. Thank you so much. I will have to find that tool & start using it... or learn how to use it.

I know the top of his head is blown out. I'm working on ways to

avoid that next time. Otherwise, don't you just love those teeth!?!

Thank you for your comments, just looking to share the smiles I get

from this one.
