Per, John ('the' John with Sophia Lauren connection).
Thanks for your reviews of my Mono lake image. I will be submitting two more
images of the mono lake for PF gallery in next two weeks (if space is
available). If you are unfamiliar with mono lake and the formation of Tufa
structures, pl. visit www.monolake.org
It is indeed very peaceful there with bright sunsets and sunrises as well as
calm lake waters with snow covered mountains (~8000ft elevation). It is a
photographers' paradise in any season. I am not much of a 'landscape'
photographer, still I enjoyed my stay there a lot; I encourage everybody to
visit and contribute towards saving this beautiful lake.

Another week, another bunch of opinions...
Gary Colnar, Regal Theater: A truky "Disneylandish" image. Not my cup
of tea, normally, but this one has an Art Deco flavour I rather like.
Achal Paschine, Sunrise: One word: quiet. Want to be there...
Trevor Cunningham, Wadi Rum: A rum one alright... Very difficult to
make it out at first. Did you use a red filter? A lighter one would
have kept the sky lighter, and the image would have gained, I think.
Leslie Spurlock, Faith and Hope: What I really like about the two pics
Les has shown, is the wonderful light and the general feeling of good
old B/W photojournalism, almost Gene Smith-ish. What detracts are
details that are visually unexplained, like the hairpins in last week´s
image, and that scarf tie in this one. As others have said, keep on
shootin´... You´re on the right track, sure.
Jim Davis, Success: Top notch job (1/2000th and be there...). Most
wildlife photogs would be jealous abot this one.
Johnny Mason, "UFO": To me, looks more like a frying pan with goggles,
but then I´m a firm non-believer in these matters.
Rubin Diehl, Wild Flower: Good composition. Would have been improved
by softer light, I think.
Emily Ferguson, Jack came to visit: Well, old Jack Frost has been busy
here in Sweden too... Like the curves, but I can imagine the scan lost
lots of the glitter; this must be a scanner´s absolute nightmare...
Kostas Papatokas, Irony: Now, without the extensive discussion, I would
probably never even have noticed that other photographer, and I still
can´t se it as much of an irony, only a funny incident. Without the
story, I´m afraid i just see another tourist snap among millions.
William Downey, C-47 Ghost: Golly, I thought it was a DC-3 (don´t kill
me...). Anyhow, you sure succeded in getting a timeless feeling about
it.
Andrew Davidhazy, Figure: Just found her older sister on the cover of
Gruber´s Imaginary Photo Museum.. ;-) That one is a solarization by
Man Ray, and Andy´s image also takes me back to the period of
photo-graphics (Ray, Bayer, Hajek-halke). Not a bad company, really..
OK, that´s it. Just an answer to those wo asked about my contribution:
the product (not) advertised was... water treatment expertise!
