The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated APR 23 2005. Authors with work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
I'm no big name reviewer/judge. I'm contributing some brief comments, because I'd like some feedback when I submit a photograph -- given it is exhibited. So here goes.
Mark Harris - Tree Flowers
I like photographs of small things, or small bits of large things. I'm not sure what more I can say.
Peeter Vissak - Scream
Nature creates such interesting forms. Peeter's tale gives us a starting point.
Leslie Spurlock -
I feel drawn into this image by the open arms, and the wide angle.
Emily L. Ferguson -
Nice contrast of expressions, and people's ideas of casual clothing. I thought for a while whether I would have cropped the LHS to get rid of the black shadow, but decided the fourth face was worth keeping. (I don't know who any of them are.)
Margaret Lucas - hi vol day
The rays of light on the chimneys and the plume, make a wonderful contrast with the darker background.
Veli Cigirgan -
There's a balance to the composition, with the curve of the two bodies, and the isolated rock.
Pini Vollach - Enter the temple
Temples often provide interesting repetition of shapes. This image has a pleasing feel.
Richard Wrigley - Storm coming
This has a monochromatic feel I like. The almost navy blue has the right watery look. I think I would have cropped the bottom edge to loose the wall in the immediate foreground.
Bob Talbot - Cheery Blossom
The blossom is certainly more cheery than the grey sky. A good title can make an image memorable.
Jeff Spirer - Angel
I like the contrast between the angel and her Mum, rushing past the utilitarian building and the two dump bins. Enhanced by the B&W.
Steve Shapiro - Color Photograph Printing School
The laneways behind buildings provide plenty of interest. Again, I would have trimmed the RHS and the bottom slightly to remove the blobs, and (is it?) the car window frame.
Andrew Davidhazy - The critics
Good contrast between the figure on the wall, and the viewers. I like the framing. In fact the viewpoint of the photographer is in a great spot -- just a bit to the right would miss out, and any more to the left would be crass.
I've now read Emily's comments. So now here are mine, unchanged.
