    Unfortunately, the Rijksmuseum is on an unbelievable 8 year or soreconstruction and restoration program, meaning only a small part ofthe building can be visited. With large groups of visitors stillattending it to see world famous pictures like Rembrandt's"Nightwatch", this poses some major difficulties...

    This picture is partially the result of an accident. I originallyshot it, thinking I had a B&W 400TMX negative in my holder. I thandeveloped it accordingly only to discover it was Ektachrome 100G slidefilm... I subsequently bleached the image and redeveloped it in B&Wpaper developer to get more contrast and see if I could print it. Thiswas the outcome.

    Actually, it's not far of of what I intended it to be on B&Wnegative film...

    "Effect" may not be the right word for this, it reminds me to much of Photoshop. This is all handwork. I used a brush inside a cut matting board to develop this picture, leaving these residual marks on the edges.

     

    And the strange perspective is due to the pinhole, no PS trick.

     

    I think your remark holds trueth, but is applicable to ALL pictures and images. Most are from "dull" and uninteresting subjects - at first sight... It's the photographer's challenge to make it interesting, sometime you succeed, sometimes you don't...

    Hi Martin,

     

    I find it very courageous of you to share such personal pictures with all of us...

     

    Your wide angle usages in this series of pictures is a good choice, and the pictures are beginning to tell the story. From a more "photographic-documentary" point of view, and to enhance the series and story telling, you might also consider trying to add some "social" pictures, interaction with your family and so... and maybe some medical personal. But maybe I'm going completely past the objectives of your posted pictures...

     

    Anyway, wish you a good recovery!!

    Maybe crop a bit to take out the non vertical line on the left and leave a uniform background? Or create even more space by adding a bit more "wall" on the left? Indeed a very "vulnerable" look.

    Hi Julien,

     

    Well, it's your unique eye and feel for perspective boiling up again... ;-) However, I do have a bit of a problem with this image. Instead of having the focus on the distracting background, I would rather have seen it on the hand in the upper right corner. That would make a completely different picture, but possibly stronger and more focused on the story you are trying to tell to us. The hand is now even so blurred, it's hardly recognizable as such... anyway, just my 2 cents worth, just wait what others say... ;-)

    I think you need to be Dutch (which I am) to fully appreciate this picture... A rusty old bike (maybe even dragged from below the water surface of one of Amsterdam's channels) still chained up in a useless effort to prevent stealing...
