OK, finally I´m coming around my upgrading chaos; let´s try some
comments this week...

The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated AUG 11
2007. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/
gallery.html include:
Linda Buttstead - GREY
Excellent! Subdued greyscale with a single colour accent. Good
composition and an interesting skyline. The horizon is just a little
askew (we used to have a Forum member who measured the exact angle of
such horizons - Qkano, we miss you!); I´m not unduly worried.
Emily L. Ferguson - Trip to Maine
A Paul Strand in colour... Lovely! That copyright symbol is a bit
disturbing, although most of us know the sad realities that make them
necessary on the web.
Guy Glorieux - Sic transit gloria mundy...
If Emily did a Paul Strand, you did an Ernst Haas... (of course I´m
not implying either of you were trying to emulate someone´s work). I
can appreciate this one being much weaker without the face, and the
extreme corner placement adds lots of tension. Possibly I would have
turned the saturation up a bit, but then again, the weather-worn look
isn´t out of place either.
Paul Weyn - Brother and Sister
A great shot: everything works: facial expressions, body postures,
dress, and the overall composition with that distant window (?)
adding depth. Too bad the hightlights are so burned-out (1600 film
in harsh midday sun isn´t an easy thing to handle). Considering the
qualities of this image, it might pay to get a truly professional 16-
bit drum scan from the neg; it may get more detail out of these dark
parts of the negative.
Valery Firsov - The First Achievements
Nice grouping, dynamic composition (dare I say you did a
Rodchenko....?). I´m just wondering how much digital photography is
doing to get kids interested in photography, with the instant
feedback of seeing the results right away?
Marilyn Dalrymple -
Oops! Photoshop at large... Normally, I´m not too keen of such
images, but this one has a good composition, nice light, and
harmonious colours, so it does work for me. But then I´m sure the
original would have, too....
From: Agnes and the PF gallery staff looked after by Andy who is in
pretty
good shape everything considered and for his age. But getting
better. TKS!
That´s great to hear! Keep on, Andy!
And now, I have to find something to submit for next week (missed
this one, again...).
