    Stranger 18 - Tiny

    Hello Matt, This one has a "cinematic feel" to it (I'm a fan of Vincent Versace). Nice separation of the subject against the background. The light is beautiful. Well done. Randy

    The buskers are getting younger and younger

    Hi John, This is a cool shot. He must be really talented. If I am not in a hurry, I listen a bit to the buskers and throw down a few coin their way. That's just for making my day a bit brighter. Love it when you see an impromptu performance from a passerby singing an aria with the musician...

    Thanks Cody. Hello Jean, Glad you liked the photos. Don't give up you will eventually get it. Learning is a two way process. I'm looking forward to learning from you as well. Photographic maturity is both the mastery of tools and vision of thought. Still a long way for me to go but it'll be...

    Doel series

    Hi Cem, Thanks for the information behind Doel. Vermeer had a way of calculating his vanishing points. The painting with the tiled floor was an example where he started his points outside of the frame to get the perspective he wanted for the floor. Fascinating...

    Doel series

    Hello Cem, You have a nice set here. The tonal range would make them excellent candidates for Platinum/Palladium prints. The room with the tiled floor reminds me of a Vermeer painting. What is the story behind Doel? Randy

    Learning "vision"

    Hi Bob, Try doing projects. It could be about anything but something specific. Cars, old cars, bridges, signs, lighthouse or old mills. This will allow you to narrow your shots to specific things. Do this for a year or six months but enough time for you to come up a substantial body of work on...

    Monochrome Debate

    Hi Cody, To my mind your image is monochrome. One hue and different tones. It's understandable to typically consider B&W (silver halide gelatin prints if this is what you mean) as monochrome but to believe that as the definition of monochrome would be a great disservice to older printing...

    Thanks for the welcome and your kind words Doug. Thanks you for the welcome Bart. I've been printing on Epson luster for a bit. I still have to get my print on the Moab Sommerset Museum Rag right. The soft proofing is way off. Just a bit of patience and time I'll get it down. Thanks for the...

    Thank you Sandrine. Glad to know your fond of the Alternative Process too. I'm amazed at Kenro Izu's cyanotype over platinum nude series. Gene Laughter's Bromoil prints are mesmerizing. I'll post results worth sharing. Playing with double coating atm and exposing with a single light source...

    Hi folks! I'm a photo enthusiast. I'm in digital captures, editing and printing my own images. The experience of holding a 16x20 print compared to a monitor display fulfills the circle from the moment of capture. I still am amazed by the process. I'm lately into to the hybrid workflow and...
