Amanti,

It seems the world traveler continues his journey and what a beautiful rendition it is. I find this perfectly framed with a pleasing color scheme of blues and creams. That distant architectural scene with a slight haze captures the mystery of the place.

A great on stop shopping experience. You delivery, art, history and humor all in one place. Thanks I'll pull up to the next window now.

Another wonderful interpretation. I wonder if you don't have enough of these gems to put together an artist self-portrait book?

Classic B&W approach Jeff. The clouds cooperated nicely with you that day. The photo captures the enormity of the task of building structures by hand and stone by stone. It is a stark reminder of this temporary life we walk through and its remains.

I'm a little late but congratulations on both image and baby but mostly baby. I'm glad Mother and her are fine.

Hi Kevin,

 

Thanks for the recent kind words. I'm just checking out more of your images. Your skill takes you on wide journeys of talented exploration. This takes me into a distant storybook world of soldiers and country. You have a beautiful illustrative way.

You've got a winner here. Smartly composed. The mosaic arrangement and POV are original. I like the red border running along the top and right offering a nice framing element.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the recent kind words. Seriously you have a body of work that exudes creative skills. It seems you can conquer almost any pursuit and the larger battle may be one in deciding which one to conquer next. Cheers.

HI Todd,

 

I have to agree with Jack. I was just sorting through many of your recent images and there does seem be an intent and discipline on shape and composition. This image exhibits that direction quite well.

This one strikes at the heart of your broad and esteemed working man in Japan studies which first attracted me to your work. I believe this captures the documentary wonder of a man in a foreign land a wonder that still stirs in you which is so evident. You have captured the raw and hurried pace of lunch for the working who apparently have work to do.

exsquite! The colors are like pastel paint drying. I love getting lost in the latent reflective images. You really do this so very well.

From the title to scene it comes to the viewer fresh and unincumbered. Combining a rewarding balance between documentary and fine art. The amount of sky devoted is the essential choice that many might have missed. My morning dose of satisfying inspiration. Cheers CH.

Thanks John. I thought that because it looked so professional and specific to layout and color.

Nikos, I flipped through the preview portion of your book. It's beautiful and well designed. Blurb is a good company. I found it interesting that the cover was a color photo and the insides seem to be all black and whites.

A guy could spend a few hours and spend them well inside your portfolio. There are many rewarding shots as is this one. Your eye for unconventional and intelligent color composition is a joy. Love this series.

That soft reflective glow of the ceiling light onto the shadow area beyond is very nice as well as the fine composition and dotty called out.

You sure do make it look easy. That's how you know its a good shot. No bullshit photoshop tricks, just straight up photographer behind the camera work.

 

I adore the precise crop tension of man half out and exactly half in. Time that anyone if you can. The McRitchie color palette is shown in pure sophisticated glory. White, silver, black and bland. Damn fine work sir.

Man I love this folder! Continued success my friend.

So John, tell us about this series. Is for a commercial assignment?

That's a nice multi-view composition. An almost voyeuristic feeling. Wouldn't you have loved to have someone walk into the window frame area?

Ahhh, the lovely subtle details in life.

Its been awhile so I was just enjoying an updated tour again. Take it easy.

A great image if for no other reason than it begs to be photographed and is worth recording however you have taken it into the artistic realm. Soft warm light dancing across the overgrowth of another time. The color is and composition are just right.

Great series of shots. Your last 4 posts show a thoughtful lower camera angle that lends consistency to your very intelligent work. Always a pleasure to see what you've been doing.

Masterfully composed.

Linda I do love this folder and what finds its way into it. This is indeed a fine gift (collection) for any day. I find the subject relationships fascinating and beautiful. Gods subtle palette and shapes. I really quite wonderful.
