Mr Caird, it was more in reference to this idiotic debate concerning color and b/w in terms of art and photography, which though in certain circles may have validity but in this instance with Herr Schuler at the helm seems to take on foolish proportions. And BTW Stiechen produced some interesting Autochromes in '07, grains of starch dyed 3 separate colors were used. Had to expose the plate from the back.

Umm didn't these silly arguments about color and b/w get solved in the 60's?

Mr Richard Fedder pointed this out to me and I have some questions about these children in whales. How'd they get in there? Can they get out and are they OK? Is it like Jonah and the whale, can they see inside of the whale, are they getting enough to eat, I hope they aren't going hungry inside of that big nasty smelly whale, and ah what...nevermind.

Tony makes a good point about the Ealing connection, definately has the feel of a good kitchen drama. It's an excellent photo - lots to chew on with this one.

Liquor in the front, poker in the....

Italy's Abbas Saeidilanha, right, runs over the crotch area of downed Russian cyclist, Vladimir Kiriltsev during a pile up in the men's elimination race final at the 2001 Goodwill Games and thus eliminating him from the procreation race, held at the Sleeman velodrome in Brisbane, Australia Sunday, September 2nd, 2001. Dan Bayer photo.

Great timing!

Very nice, strong composition and color.

Giant kite, giant image. Best cut the file size by half, the default viewing size of "medium" creates a massive image on my screen which is set for 800x600.

I'll take Todd's side on this one, matter of fact the photo looks cut in half by the extreme highlight- very distracting. As far as IR, the only artifact of that that I can see are the trees way in the distance on the right, so it's not a good example of IR photography. Overall it's a good concept ruined by the blown out hightlight, and the thought that the blow out is actually rather appealing is an odd one.

Man what a scary shot, those eyes creep me out. I not sure if I can rate this thing....

Tony's right and has the experience and ability to backup his words thank goodness, 'cuz I don't.

Tony's the man! Excellent work. Glad to see someone else using the lowly Summarit and getting results with it. Not only that he can explain hex.

Not to be contrary, but this photo does nothing for me, in fact I have tired of seeing it all week. It doesn't challenge my senses, evoke a feeling, appeal to my aestheic side or make me the least bit curious. Samuel also makes a good point about the dark mass in the upper right (photog?).

Just to be fair though to the photographer, this image is better to my mind and would have made more sense.

The sense of surrealism is better displayed here with the tip of the hat to Dali water droplets and odd floral plate(?) in the background.

Eh gads, if that's in Italy then the Gretsch Duo-Jet must be worth 10 trillion lira! And the Strat or Tele alone could retire the debt of any emerging country in Africa (assuming of course their both pre-CBS).

I'm with Tony on this photo, the contrast of it does nothing for my eye, at least not the way the photograher intended it.

And it does lack a human element I feel (or other animus), the composition has little going for it I feel and the inclusion of the flying cup being too small in scale does not overcome the forebearance of the rest of the image.

A better example of the dark alley is Elliot Erwitt's "Pigeon in Flight" from '52.

An excellent example of shooting anywhere, anytime under any circumstance. Who of us would think to take out their cameras in that muck?

small medium at large....Dave use the buttons below the pic to view it in different sizes.

 

Michael, wonderful photo. I'm glad someone lacks the fear to seize the moment. I think I see a relative in the corner, nope mistaken.
