The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated May 19 2007. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
Rene M Hales p- Buddha in My Garden
I like the way the vignetting, point of view and
palette reinforce the closed eyelids of the
buddha. The image is very tender and modest and
that is pleasing to me.
Elson T. Elizaga - Hard Food
Oh dear. The tears must be only a few moments
beyond this! Interesting how much the eyes
reveal - a mixture of "this is a hard substance"
and "You gave me this? I'm no longer so sure I
can trust you"
Tim Mulholland - Fox Pups
Yeah. Wothehell, crop it. Isn't it amazing how
close things have to be to actually be
photographed. I keep learning this over and over
again every time I go out and see some bird I
want to get a photo of.
And then tweak the contrast to make the little guys pop a bit.
Roy Miller - Untitled faces and lips
It's amazingly difficult to make this technique
work. I once thought I had the perfect shot to
make one of these kaleidoscope things of and
discovered in the trying just how much thought
and time goes into it. For me, I'd like to
result to be beautiful, however. To me this one
is not doing that part.
Roger Eichhorn - La Rabida Monastery
Yeah. My kind of shot. I like the glow from the
windows, the perspective makes me feel
comfortable, just a nice image.
Emily L. Ferguson - Bobbi and Elizabeth
It was fun seeing what people could make of the
title. Even Andy was perplexed. Some week soon
you'll find out more. I did the best I could to
get rid of the cars. Unfortunately I couldn't
ask them to go away.
Guy Glorieux - 1822-1877 - Layton, NJ
What, no pinhole? Guy, what's happened! I'm
uncomfortable with the placement of the
headstone. Such a sharp edge smack in the
middle. Maybe you intended that?
Howard Leigh - Louvre Paris, February 2007
Neat-o. Good noticing. I actually like the
tent. It's a reminder that the architects' works
of art are a real place.
Kostas Papakotas - Red on Green
Another mystery. I dunno, Kostas. I think it's
been done many times before, but each person has
to do some things which have been done before,
just to decide whether they fit the person. Do
you feel this fits you?
Steve Shapiro - Tree of Light
Interesting. The light's on the earth below the
tree. One cliché would be to lie down on the
ground and shoot up through the tree so the
light's behind it. Another would be to go to the
other side of the tree and back light it with the
sunset over the ocean beyond it. What to do,
what to do... Change the name? undo the sepia?
Raise the midtones? Burn the ground? Very
carefully dodge the tree and burn the bushes
behind it?
Thanks to all for all the work you do. Here's a
toast to next week's gallery. Get your pictures
in tonight. And a toast to Andy with his bottles
of pills making him more well every day.
