With apologies to everyone we must confess that the updates were prepared but
obviously sent to the wrong address. The PF gallery staff
The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated NOV 17 2007. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
Valery Firsov - Red & Black
Valery strikes again! What a neat vision! Simple, thoughtful,
striking and heart rending!
Qkano - Look
That backdrop is just a bit too strong, and bright. Interesting concept.
Robert G. Earnest -
Blue. Pre-dawn does that. Surreal the way the whites are so harshly white.
Rene M Hales - flower and bottle
Perfect for the Victorian notecard marketplace. I like the
combination of waxing and waning flowers, the touches of wilting.
The vase is just a bit of an anachronism - I think that wire wrapping
is a modern innovation in home accessories. But still, attractive
within the style. A little flat, perhaps the background could be
burned in a bit more to give an illusion of more depth between it and
the base.
Howard Leigh - Brighton Marina, UK, November 2007
Silly hounds, but black really sucks up the light. Some fill flash
and a lot of darkening of the background would bring the viewer's
attention onto the doggie pose. The bright wall behind the left hand
dog and the brilliant brick sidewalk really steal the eye.
Roger Eichhorn - Pit Stop
Funny. Stopping to do repairs at the side of the street. We are so
far away from the age when people depended on horses. I'd tone down
the red on the ground a bit and perhaps burn the background to limit
its brightness. And try to get that man to put that whip away.
Jim Snarski - Bee Dance
Great stop motion but it's so successful that the bee isn't actually
dancing. Very hard to pull off, getting the body sharp and the wings
soft with motion. I love Point Reyes Station.
Peeter Vissak - Substructure
Thatch, phragmites australis by name. A terrible pest here where I
live, came to this continent as packing material and stifles all the
native plants. I like the way the water surface becomes a neutral
background to the phrag, although it would be ever so much more
effective if there were some backlight on the reeds. Unlike many
submissions this week that have had background too bright, this one
is so even that I wish for a more intense sense of the the pattern.
Dan Mitchell - Sunfrost
This is one of the most beautiful moments in the fall around here,
hoarfrost all over the unwitting plants that are still hanging on
there. I think this would be better square, eliminating the glob of
green on the left edge and concentrating the viewer's attention more
upon the beautiful yellow petals, so suddenly surprised to feel the
frost. Lovely light on the frost, shining down from the gray sky.
