Work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html includes: Christiane Roh - Lausanne, Pl. de la Riponne, aot 2002 Street photography: unstructured. Is Christiane invisible? The two girls look to the right, the boy to the left. It's as if they have not noticed the camera. Also, it makes me wonder what I'm supposed to take from this. Time and place - well, month and place anyway. Richard Cooper - Take Cover Forboding clouds - the title spares me from making the gaffe about it being underexposed - it is meant to be dark. It needs something though: a silhoutted figure at the end of the jetty? "French Lieutenant's Woman" style. What are the blobs in the water: ducks? Guy Glorieux - Montreal - Lachine Canal OK, inverted it looks less interesting than as the negative. Paper negatives as the end product - maybe it will catch on. There is something fascinating about looking at monochrome negatives ... Christopher Strevens, LRPS - Mother and Child I can see the family resemblance even through the filiters. PhotoShop filters to me are those things you play with when you first get the program then, apart from unsharp mask, noise and guassian blur, do well to forget about. They spoil a good picture. This is not an unattracive image as presented: so maybe they are a way to liven up a bad shot ;o) jIMMY Harris - bMimosa Tree Ah, hadn't seen the seed pods before. "Sensitive plant" - is that the one. Stroke the leaves and they fold (?) We're lacking critical sharpness where it matters: on the brown seed pods which I feel are the subject. I'll have a look in the Oxford botanical garden tomorrow - see if their mimosa has seeds. Peeter Vissak - Behind the corner of the Columns I'm confused by the choice of framing: we're shown "Avventre" but not the shop. What does the word mean translated (and is it important)? "For sale", "adventure". For stone columns I want to feel the texture of the stone. This does not hold that amount of detail. Bob Talbot - Lion number two This picture is shit, a load of crap. Where is lion number one? Dan Mitchell - F7 My missus looked over my shoulder and said "nice picture, it's not yours is it" It's F/7 (the shadow of the rope). So much more a photographer's picture if it had been F8 It is nice, it is simple, it is F7 Emily L. Ferguson - Tihonet Pond moment Reflections - this one is half and half down the middle. It does not hold my interest for long ... Andrew Davidhazy - In your dreams Yea, right Andy. This is "your" style. What a fraud you are putting in a pile of old pipes. Very interesting shot BTW: I'm sure the story behind it is as interesting as the image, some alternative process no doubt. It looks to be a negative: yes, unlike Guy's this one looks better to me as the positive. Top shot this week would have to be between Dan and Andy Bottom is the lion. Q
