as seen at PF's exhibit space at http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html
Don Roberts - Canyon de Chelly
The photograph would benefit I think if the image were a little bigger and if there were something
to indicate scale as well as the limits of the base and top of the cliff. In a weird way I can see
the brow, eyes and nose of "the Hulk". Strange. HEY! Now that I read the "additional info" I guess I
was not too far off base!!
Belinda Peters -
Decorated window. A bit hard to tell whether this is real or painted. No matter. Somehow the window
seems a bit too centered to me. The slight opening does introduce some "tension" as to what might be
beyond.
Rene M Hales - Seedlings
Erie infrared effect. The seedlings are somewhat buried in the foreground shadow. The scene evoques
a cemetery. I am not fond of cemeteries.
Dan Mitchell - Market Place
Amazing how far panoramic software has come in just a few short years! Slow poke attendees and fast
food offering - a study in contrast! Again, the backs of people emphasized too much IMO. I think for
proving the point that one can achieve panoramic work with simple cameras this works but otherwise
... hmmmm.
Christopher Strevens - Happy but frightened
I am not sure how or what to comment about this photograph. On a technical note the noticeable tilt
of the scene as shown by the background pillars as well as the left hand cut-off are a bit distracting.
Alberto Tirado - Slow Night at the Fire Station
Yup ... looks pretty quiet all right!! Slight tilt bothers me a bit. I think your choice of going
with B&W was a good one.
Mark Harris - Samantha Lightpainted
Hard to relate to this one for me as well. Is this about the body or about the tatoo? Or something
else? Light painting is a seldom seen technique but I am wondering if its use for this purpose adds
to the final image. The face in the tatoo is overexposed IMO. I think that the tatoo makes the
photographers "job" very hard.
Andrew Davidhazy - Diamond in the rough
Cute idea but would be better upside down. Or, a second black spot could be magically introduced in
what appears to be a face and then one could ponder about the meaning of it all. Ultimately there is
no meaning. It is just a design or mark on the pavement that I stepped on on my way to the office
and then wondered what it was all about. Click!
g'day!
