Rene M Hales - SHE ~ Father's Shoes
Interesting, sort of static. i think the distance between the feet
and the shoes is too great. The DOF is fine, the shoes are nice and
sharp, but there's no urgency between the feet and shoes. I suspect
as the project accumulates, this will be a good introductory sort of
image.
Bob Sull - Feeding Frenzy
I do love doing jigsaw puzzles of images like this one. A couple
thousand pieces could keep a family of 4 busy for a good part of
Christmas vacation! Colorful, repetitive, a bit on the fearsome
side. Fun.
Don Roberts - Street Musician
That back lighting isn't doing you any favor, and I feel for the
musician not having one of those wire holders that goes around the
neck for the harmonica. Some motion blur in the drumstick probably
would have helped a lot.
Christopher Strevens - 99
Chris' ongoing, if a bit raw, recording of his mother's aging has a
commonness about it that simultaneously fails to tug at our
heartstrings and yet has a certain value. It provides a window into
a world that all of us may visit and the very ordinaryness of that
place.
Dan Mitchell - Easter
Not particularly springy or Easter-y. The image seems too crowded,
not in the oppressive way of religion but more in the way of modern
urban life. Still the image does not resonate in any particular way
for me.
Trevor Cunningham - stranded
Trevor, you live in such a different world. Is that a camel by the
beach? How close does a small boy dare get to a camel? And what
here is stranded?
Sherie Taylor - Sunset at Santa Monica Pier
Sherie, it's time for you to wait for good sunsets. This is a most
ordinary one and not worth shooting, to me. You don't get many
possible evenings - the fog and weather gets in your way, but I think
you need to practice being a lot more selective at this point.
There are other photographs in there - but it's time for you to get
in close, add some technical skills with slow shutter speeds, try out
some angles other than the one where your eyes are when you stand up,
and dig deeper. This is just another shot with too much
undifferentiated data - big empty sky, empty water, and a tantalizing
ferris wheel practically over where it's almost irrelevant.
Emily Ferguson - Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at Harpers Ferry
I have been scanning very old film, from way before I thought I might
be any sort of photographer, and this is one of those pieces. It has
some nice lines, and a sense of vista, but I was not yet mature
enough in seeing to quite figure that I'd better get that huge tunnel
hole there too! Still, to me it has some assets and I thought I'd
share them with you this week.
