Dan,
Her face really tells the story. I really want to have something special......cake, and I'm important.
Nice capture of the moment.

Very sincere expressions, the anxious feeling is quite apparent! Makes me think of that marshmallow test- http://www.youtube.com/user/eternity9899#p/u/21/rMkn4J_l9uU lol
Steve Rosenbach said...
This is a wonderful set, Martin!
I love the expressions you captured in each of the photos, and the sequence is so satisfying.
Warren T. said...
Steve, these were by "Dan in Marin", not Martin. :)

Warren,
Nice capture of a culture in transition. It may be over several years, but seeing the old sign, to a new sign, and then back to the old with graffiti on it shows the transition.

Very nicely done! I like the progression of image widths from wide to narrow which greatly adds to the sense of motion. The blur and B&W totally work for this series.

Lea said...
Thanks -I'm really digging the diptych/triptych thing. :) Still so much to try! lol
Dolph Brust said...
Lea,
I like the blur. It helps me feel the tension in the hopes he doesn't fall. Nice use of the project on these shots.

Lea said...
Thanks Dolph!

Really works with the B & W Lea good choice. Seems as if I am at some Russian circus in the 1950s.

Lots of contrast here from the image colour, to the shoe colour, to the tilted plane, to the numbers.. It all seems to add a character and warmth to the worn shoes. The other shoe all by its lonesome in b&w - it would probably want it that way.. If shoes could want things, that is. Sitting on its pedestal with no others to take away the attention it so desperately yearns for. Warren, you have personified the shoes!

Hey, man, your new camera takes some nice stuff. Then again, no matter what camera you have and no matter how many bells and whistles you have, the mind behind the camera is 95% of the photo. Nice stuff.
dan in marin said...
Warren, I believe this to be one of the most creative diptychs to date. Excellent contrast of styles for a subject. Well composed, just creates the essence of the project for me.
Dan
My first diptych! Woot. I really never heard of this before the project idea.. did some internet searching to get a clue (and coyly awaited to see what was put up here too)... Decided I'd try contrasting perspectives of an object.Labels: Project Mar. 2010

Really nice idea, Lea. Yes, it seems simple, yet it can be a challenge to figure out how to take advantage of the technique. That's why it's so fun, it makes you think, and it also makes the viewer think, interpret, and guess your intent.

Warren T. said...
btw, I also like the neutral shades of brown in the shots.

dan in marin said...
Great Diptych Lea, and you actually are creating a triptych from Warren's post below. Now that is taking it to the next level. In fact maybe we should consider that for a project. Create diptychs from existing posts. You can take credit for starting it Lea, yea.
Dan
Steve Rosenbach said...
Hey, really, really nice, Lea!! Good on ya - I'm drawing a blank for now ;-) Hope I come up with something before the end of the month.
Lea said...
Thanks everyone!
Warren -I do like how these projects make me think more about what I am shooting. Happy to be a part of it here!
Dan -Good triptych observation! I think that next level step would be credited to you.
Steve -I am sure you'll discover some good ones; looking forward to seeing them too!

Lea, these are nice images of a very nice guitar. I've always wondered the best way to get a whole guitar in one photo, as shooting them straight on, the body gets so small because of the neck. Nice photos, interesting to see on an ipod too, where you can rotate them and have the aspect ratio changed (but they get cropped in the wrong views too).
Lea said...
Thanks Ted! :)
Dolph Brust said...
Lea,
This very nice and presents the Martin really nice. BTY that is a really great guitar. Is that you Martin? The picture with the lines from the strings, and the grain in the wood really works and makes you eye follow down the neck.
**Dolph
Lea said...
Thx Dolph, yea it's my Martin :)
Ted M said...
That is a really nice guitar! I have the budget D-15 mahogany (dreadnaught), are those the stock tuners, or did you upgrade? Do you use a pickup?
Lea said...
thanks Ted, it's a treat to play this one. no upgrades, no pick ups, and those are the original tuners it came with.
Ted M said...
I'd love to hear you play it. Is it a D-28?

This would be a tough one, but how about a documentary in 6 or less photos? It kind of continues the theme of diptychs etc.
Dan
Dan, it will be tough for the rest of us, but I know that you have at least one set done already for your class, right? :)
Or maybe we just chill for a month and not put pressure on ourselves to do anything in particular?
--Warren
I'm in. Sounds challenging. And cool.
I'm in, too. I'll try to make up for March ;-)
Very nice photos, Warren. Isn't it amazing - these are images made with only water, wind, and light, and of course, you as the artist!
I'm in. I catch up on the posting when I get back home. Have spent the last several weeks in western Mass.......burrrrrr.
Warren,
Nice use of reflections and angles of the rippling water.
**Dolph
Can we agree on a definition of "documentary"? Dan, what did you have in mind?
Thanks,
Warren
Let's leave at open as possible - the theme must be identifiable without captions, must be either all B & W or color, should be using the same size postings - In other words the story evolves as you move from image to image. What does everyone think? For my class assignment I am doing the life cycle of water (no I will not cheat and use it) so I started with storm clouds, rain, small stream, waterfalls, reservoirs, dams, big river, estuary, bay and ocean. Tried to produce the same tones and contrast in each image. I must say it is challenging. Especially in the wet darkroom.
I think it sounds like a fun, interesting, and challenging month ahead of us :)
I suggest a minimum of 3 images, preferably more, but no more than say, 6 or 8.
Dan, please post your class assignment if you feel like it, and if you don't want to include it in April's project, I won't label it as such. I'm interested in seeing it anyway.
