So simple, and yet so "real". In the spontaneity of this so much "photographic" ( and classic, old-school) masterfully composed image, you once again froze TIME, that elusively ungraspable conundrum, a theoretical physicist's futile attempt to define it.....Well, I love your photo and the perfect timing, color, composition, and other, now "superfluous" technical details. No doubt it goes to my favorites! Thank you so much for sharing, and for transmitting so vividly the moment in which you were immersed, and made the magic pressing the shooter. DG -
Speechless. Enthralled. Mesmerized. These and other most marvelous sensations I can obtain from this almost imaginary, though peaceful and present/future environment. One of a kind! IMHO This should stand in a high-quality gallery... anywhere!!! Thanks for sharing this instant in Planet Earth in that fraction of a second....Capturing time and unimaginable beauty and perspective. I guess I should have ended this congratulation to just the three initial words. Bravo, Bravíssimo! DG -
single photos COLOR OF TIME AND CHEMISTRY PRODUCES
DGorinstein commented on DGorinstein's gallery image in Street
Dear friends, and gentlemen, Jack, loyal friend, and wise counselor, and Giangiorgio, your kind visits to my work and for your comments thereof. I bow, silently, with profound thanks. With all humbless. DG -
Astonishing capture and masterful DOF. Best regards and congratulations. DG -
Very interesting composition, merging the un-mergeable, that is, a superb contrast between straight and curved lines, expressed in stairs. BW is superb, only because I have a personal bias for the origins of photography. I can detect some grain on the more shadowy gray tones, which I absolutely love. Congratulations. DG -
Hello dear friend Jack Sama. Yes, it is. It is an old picture from years ago when we traveled through some countries in Europe, and I felt like showing the environment where Master Chagall used to work, nowadays a museum. For me, in any case, is a treasure of past time I was able to freeze and then extrapolate his mastery admired all over the world. For me, it was a souvenir, a memento, but ended thinking of it as a tribute to such a superb artist, way apart from us mere mortals. BTW, I also have a close-up photo of Mr. Chagall's brushes still retaining his different colored oils in my portfolio. Thank you as always Sensei Jack, for your comments on my work, for which I am humbly obliged. Kiotsukete Kudasai, Dai Tomodachi. Sincerely yours, DG. -
Indeed "dainty"; something delicious to the taste. One of the most "exquisite" photos of thousand, nay, hundreds of attempts to capture the multi-dimensional marvels a drop of water can produce. Felicidades, una foto verdaderamente exceptional. DG -
Hello Giangiorgio: Thank you for your kind comment. I know full well the grain is overdone. I care not for the "pseudo judges" thet don't know how to literally "extract", physically, grain from processing an image with 35mm film and rudimentary developer and fixer....... I just wanted to re-live my dark-room days at 16, where I got a special taste for high-speed Agfa film and high-contrast Kodak paper. In retrospect, I may be a photo for myself, wanting to share it as if I had retrieved it from my prints from 49 years ago. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for understanding my utter purpose, to take the observer back into my rudimentary dark-room at age 16. "Thanks, and thanks. All else is mute" (W. Shakespeare). DG -
Hello Gary: Nothing outside your usual mastery. An unusual, captivating masterfully crafted idea, brought into concreteness through Photography. Isn't what this is all about? Might it be how bees "see" their honeycomb, or the colors in nature from where they extract the sweet nectar, the one you are sharing with us with this masterpiece? Bravo!!! DG -

When you (rarely) have the chance to hold in your hand a gorgeous, breath-taking, 3-karat Purple diamond, you most probably stay silent, admiring each facet of its unfathomable beauty. I should not even say it, but the light on the girl's dress is pure mastery. Not only do I admire your image, but consider it a work of art, and I immediately need to put it in my favorites, to come back to it whenever I want a true beauty to behold. My sincere respect and admiration. DG -
Unmistakeably Jack's viewpoint of present and sad times. After knowing and following you for many years, I am still awed, and wonder what "unique" element there is "within, embedded" in your photos that immediately catches the attention of fellow photographers. Do you see? Your presence, IMHO is INDIPENSABLE in this forum. I have nothing against Instagram, except that there is too much rubbish and touristy material that only wastes photographers-at-heart time and distracts us. I find, again, with all due respect, PN to "still" be a cozier environment for all of us striving to share our best work. Again, only a humble opinion. Regardless, I send you my deepest respect and admiration, Sensei Jack Sama, with a Japanese, silent bow. DG -
I just love it!! Old-school, basic (unencumbered and not complex, showing Nature "as-is") and exceptional BW photography. Bravo! DG -
Hello Franz: Extraordinary! Sincere congratulations. Very unique, delicate, creative, and superbly artistic post-processing, to produce an exceptional end result. I very much enjoy watching it, as it is one of the more original and fresh photographic expressions I have seen in a long time. Bravíssimo!! DG -

Hello Michael: I had passed several times on commenting on this image until I reviewed your portfolio as I was surely missing something or not looking at the photo more carefully. At first, the "now" very interesting human figures, like dancing primitives festive atop a rock, started making sense and balancing the photo. Without the figures, this would be a beautiful, powerful landscape, complementing the sky's texture to that of the rock. Of course, for me BW makes it more dramatic and compelling. Beautiful. DG -
Dear and kind friends Michael, Wayne, and Sensei Jack: Never perfunctorily, I once and again sincerely thank you for your comments. The observations of details due me much honor. Indeed I found many elements in this image. For example, wanted to include the feet of pedestrians to an incomplete and, let me say "void or lacking essence"; or the gradual transition from pebbles to round. polished metal cones. The shadow of the lens of the camera was just pure luck. Thanks once again, as well as my best regards. DG -
Hello Giangiorgio: Thank you for your comment, but I would like to clarify something. It is not me who is asking the question.......It is the graffiti on the wall, but at the same time, it is a question posed by the original painter to whoever passes by. By the way, I consider this work much more worthy than the rubbish the "modern" "art" put up these days, especially the trash in the Guggeheim, either in NY or Santander, Spain.DG -
Captivating...? No doubt! Striking and well done. I just wonder that maybe without the post-processing you would have an even more impactful image. I like it anyway. DG -
Onegaishimas Sensei McRitchie Sama: I had not an iota of doubt. As soon as I "glimpsed passingly" I had to say hello, my dear friend and most unique photographer, with this exquisitely simple, every-day-image, turned into a riddle. A Koan. Thank you so very much for having returned to this forum. I have noted (have you?) the absence of the Elfs? It is important, but even more relevant and forthcoming are the comments among the group of friends with whom we share the secret, personal pleasures of PHOTOGRAPHY. Salutations and best regard to each and every one of you, Franz, George, Vincent, loyal companions. DG -

black & white (monochrome) A Peaceful Place
DGorinstein commented on g_richards's gallery image in Black and White
Hei ol' Pal: So happy to "see you back". Sincere thanks for your comments. I very much not only BW (my true origins in photography) but this experimentation for a very pleasing IR effect.....You made me go back to photographic paper, high sensitive and difficult-to-get Agffa infrared 35mm film. Ahhhh, a sigh of nostalgia. DG
