Emily L. Ferguson - fall pond textures
Photography for me, has always been about isolating the things I see,
and showing it to the "others" that don't see the way I do. This
photo does that for me. I enjoy the horizontal versus the vertical
line, plus the wonderful bands of contrasting color. It is also a
very good example of the way the camera abstracts the world.
Dan Mitchell - London
A wonderful viewpoint, or should I say, a high viewpoint for a
photo...I really like looking at the world from above, such as in a
plane...such a wonderful way of looking at the "same" world, but
being able to see it differently....but you'd never get me up there
in that thing, so I'm glad you took the shot so I could see what I
was missing! The diagonal line of the shore contrasts well with the
opposing diagonal line of the bridge.
Andrew Sharpe - Cactus
Oh, Chris said it well, when he said, "Yes, I see the point"! But, I
can't help but make an anatomical reference when looking at this
print, and reply, "Ouch"! The lighting is perfect, tones/contrast
perfect , just perfect for me all around.
Gregory david Stempel - Shadows No. 4
I've taken this photo before too, which is so comforting to know that
someone else sees this light also. For me, it's a type of light that
makes me feel alive and aware. In my younger days, I always wanted to
have the shadows more open in this type of photo, but then it
wouldn't be *this* type of photo, would it?
Christopher Strevens - Accident!
I've been in this type of situation too, and found it remarkable
that as I ride isolated in my car from everyone else, an incident
like this can bring us out of our cars and force us to be a community
again. We talk to strangers and in our common-ness find community.
Unfortunately, when I have been in this situation, it usually means
that someone has died in a horrific accident. This photo brings this
experience to me closely.
John Palcewski - Joyce Carol Oates
The averted eyes, large glasses and dark lips all point to an elusive
personality for me. Prim, proper, intellectual....all characteristics
I would place on this face. I think the photo shows a very
interesting personality that I would like to have dinner with and get
to know better.
