Authors
with work now on display at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html
include:
Emily Ferguson - Early spring sailing on Buzzards Bay
I look at this as a very nice scenic photograph of the sails framed by the
ship. I like the contrast of the elements. The chain is a nice touch as it
draws the eye to the sails.
Yoram Gelman - Still in Context
It is amazing how sometimes accidents can lead to great results. I like this
composition very much. The out of focus diner adds a human element. The
frost says humid to me but that comes from having that experience. If you
had been making this on purpose you might have left more space on the right
but that is minor.
Jim Snarski - Great Blue
A terrific capture, you were certainly in the right place at the right time.
The color contrast is very good.
Hans Klemmer - Elmer and his Toolbox
At first, as was previously mentioned, I saw an interesting composition of
elements found in most old workshops. The projected image adds a personal
touch that was a bit subtle, interesting though.
John Palcewski - Chinatown, New York
This photograph shows the energy that always seems to be around in
Chinatown, New York. The contrast of all that motion and the lottery poster
is a great touch.
Russ Baker - Amy
A nicely made glamour photograph, well lighted and composed. The pose and
expression of the model is very pleasent. The hand position is very well
chosed.

David Dyer-Bennet - Trees on hillside, Lilydale Regional Park
I agree that you chose the right time of day to photograph this scene. I
like the feeling of emerging Spring with the touch of green.
Guy Glorieux - Getting the show on the wall (a bit of
self-promotion)
First, congratulations on the museum exhibit. There is nothing like the
feeling of seeing your work on the wall of a gallery or museum. I like the
point-of-view and the negative spece. Sometimes it is fun to see the
process.
Andrew Davidhazy - All in a day's work
Such a great slice-of-life image, fun and real. It does make me wonder if
someone would be able to pull out a 52 year old computer file in 2062 and
just show it like this:-) What did the author buy with their $25?
