Michael Hughes - Curiosity!
This cat (or kitten?) certainly brought a smile to my day! It's
wonderful to have a camera handy to take these fleeting shots.
Pini Vollach - Tree
I feel taken to the shadow, as you must have been, but maybe it could
have been exploited more. You've been able to do that in previous
Forum works.
Dan Mitchell - Graffiti
It's sometimes a hard call to separate graffiti as art from graffiti
as vandalism. I'm disturbed to be reminded of the terrible graffiti
that plastered New York some time ago. Even artistic graffiti were
vandalized -- seemingly as if permission were granted. The photo
certainly captures that feeling.
Elson T. Elizaga - Handmade Paper
I like the paper very much and am pleased to know that it's actually
not for being written upon.
Christopher Strevens - Me in detention
I hope, Chris, that you always have a loaded camera available and that
you keep taking photos of things that interest you. Creativity is
very hard to define, but I feel you're creative. This photo of
yourself, with the fence in the background, is a very strong statement
that no one else could have made. It's part of a narrative that has
to be heard.
Lea Murphy - Edyn, nine days
Another very nice photo of yours. My only comment is that perhaps the
camera was too close, so the head is out of proportion. But still nice.
Jack Klasey - Falls at Lower Emerald Pool
A beautiful shot . . . the lines of the layers in the foreground
intersecting the vertical lines in the background. . .the water
breaking up as it falls. . .the color. Beautiful.
Yoram Gelman - Ice Disks
I thank the members who've commented on my photo. . .and who've
offered suggestions as to cause. Nothing has clicked with me yet; I
think I'll actually make some effort to contact workers in relevant
areas.
John Palcewski - Road Kill
I don't know how to comment on this bird. I've seen animals being hit
by cars; not pleasant.
Andrew Davidhazy - Chicago Lights
This is a terrific shot. Haven't figured out your explanation, yet,
but the photo itself is just great.
