The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated DEC 08 2007. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
Howard Leigh - Three Sisters 2007
Such English faces! I like the way the younger one is looking
naturally while the twins have figured out to mug for the camera!
Dan Mitchell - Evening Light
Boy, that alley really distracts me. The color's nice enough but it
can't put the gloss on the powerlines, parked SUVs and plastic
clapboard. Reminds me of Sternfeld. But without the irony.
D.L. Shipman - Beyond here there be dragons
The tree's doing a great imitation there! And the IR helps although
it seems a bit on the overexposed side.
Linda Buttstead -
Interesting. The thumbnail is sideways, the image comes off the page
sideways, but somehow the gallery has it displayed right side up when
you click on the link.
There's something not quite right about the image to me. I think
it's that the tonality is so uniform from foreground to background.
In my experience things in fog are clearer when they're closer and
get foggier as one looks into the distance.
Tim Mulholland - MMOCA/Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
Hmm. Maybe it's time for me to make a trip back in time and see how
much has changed out there! An interesting situation with many
options for orientation. This is one, but it would be fun to check
out some others. The tan area in the bottom R corner is kind of a
shame. I wonder how it would look if the narrow end were square to
the R edge of the image.
Kostas Papakotas - Still Life Exercise
The color is really great. I kinda wish the burlap weren't there,
however, or at least the edges of it. And the angle of the head in
relation to the sand/rock "pillow" doesn't mimic the normal way that
people put their heads on/in pillows. I think the head needs to be
tilted back some, so that the bust doesn't look so much like it's
balanced on one point of the forehead.
So the concept isn't quite successful for me, but the clarity of the
colors is really excellent.
Qkano - Archival Quality
Really crunchy sharp and a very realistic amount of light on the
stone of the arcade. Pick a cloudy day to shoot stained glass
windows and take a tripod! As for the crop? Maybe square?
Thanks, as always, to Andy and his crew. I'm looking forward to
tomorrow's email to see the next gallery.
