These are going to be quick thoughts on the images in this week’s
gallery.
John
Palcewski
Rain: I like the combination of red and yellow in this photograph. The tilt of the image, blurriness and general feel of the photo give a feeling of urgency and/or discomfort – like something out of the frame is wrong. D.L.
Shipman
North edge of Englewood clearing: I really like the delicacy of the plants on the left side, and the black and white adds to this. At first I thought that if it were my photograph I’d crop on the right hand side, but after viewing the image again, the gentle curve flowing from left to right is nice and balances the subject matter. Pini
Vollach
Hands: Andy mentioned he would have liked this if the two sets of hands were closer together and I agree, but then you, Pini, would have to have interrupted what was happening, suggested poses, etc. and spoiled the moment. Sometimes a photographer has to take what is offered. My favorite part of this photograph is the lady on the left and she would be an interesting subject all by herself. I like the idea (hands), the lighting is good as is framing and composition. Emily
Ferguson
shells on beach - Oak Bluffs, MA: Again, I like the black and white and the delicacy of this photograph. The shells look fragile, as they are. Perhaps if the shell in the center was tilted just a bit more – but I really like this as is. Christopher
Strevens
waiting: The words that came to my mind the minute I viewed this is, “This young man is letting life pass him by.” Everyone behind him appears to be busy or going somewhere. The metal bicycle racks (is that what the shiny steel things are?) and fence add to this photograph. It’s a great street shot. Well done. Andrew
Davidhazy
The ends: Well done and very impactful. It looks like something otherworldly is coming through the center pipe. The pipe ends change patterns as I gaze at this, which makes it interesting. A great industrial photograph, but it has other qualities, also – the light at the end of the tunnel; go to the light . . . I enjoyed this show very much. Nice
images, and each has its own distinct quality. Thank you to Andy and staff
for hanging the show.
