The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated MARCH 29,
2014. Authors with work now on display at:
http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html include:
Emily L. Ferguson - Juvenile female snowy owl
Don Roberts - Riding out the Storm
I love the palette - the chill of the blue and the ever-so-slight
respite of the pale yellow on the tips of the bush. Seeing all the
dark forms lurking inside accentuates the theme very well, to me.
Art Faul - Self-promo with AVIS letters
I'm not sure I'd want to hire a photographer to shoot my ad campaign
who portrayed my business as broken down, especially since I rent
cars to tourists.
Lea Murphy - Trust examined
I don't get it.
Shyrell Melara - Bite Bite
The trash can really absolutely needed to go before releasing the
shutter. Of course, the standard approach to this is down at kid
level, showing a sheepish grin, wide open mouth and fresh break in
the skin of the apple, possibly with proud parent slightly out of
focus in the background. While it is always laudable to seek out
other angles on that story, I'm afraid this one is not successful to
me.
Bob McCulloch - Bar Harbor
I don't know where the color cast comes from, but did you intend it, Bob?
Bob Sull - Lorain Lighthouse
An awful lot of big negative spaces here. They are not an asset to the image.
Yoram Gelman - Inactive Chair at former Scranton Lace
Factory, Scranton, Pennsylvania
It's a nice bentwood chair, the palette is lovely, the darkness is
well managed, but there's no reason to include Lace Factory, or
Scranton for that matter, in the title, as none of that appears in
the image.
David Dyer-Bennet - Snow lace
Miserable dirty end of winter snow, kinda, sorta lacy. It would
probably have taken a whole day of checking out every spot of nearly
melted snow in a 2 mile square area to find the one which actually
could be construed to be lacy. And then to get it backlit with a
nice, cold late sunset light - now that would have been something to
shoot.
John Palcewski - Musician
Many vital and strong things here - the proud roman nose and well
contrasted profile, the eternal street musician's red mother-of-pearl
piano accordian, the look of concentration in the face, the stretched
hand. How many who viewed the gallery this week noticed the
strongest item down at the bottom.
Great crop!
