sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United StatesTo the left, to the right, okay...just about one foot closer....ut! that's it! Got it! lol... It couldn't be more perfect...in all seriousness. I like the way you've lined up everything in this image. 17 Jan 2009 6:31am @sherri: you've got me pegged sherri. my fuji is in the repair shop right now, and the process you describe is really a pain with a tlr. everything moves backwards. lisa v from Gawler, AustraliaRight smack in the front window :) our washing machine just happens to have gone to god, so I'll be looking at one of these shops shortly. 17 Jan 2009 8:02am GJC from Kyoto, JapanAll the white boxes -- the door, above the door, the machines -- just too much fun. Very well seen and composed with your usual sensitivity. 17 Jan 2009 8:32am Mindy from United StatesThis one's really cookin'. Hope those ovens/stoves do, too. 17 Jan 2009 12:39pm @Polydactyle: thanks p! Nilla from Continent: Europe, SwedenWonderful brick building, like the little ragged appearance of weeds in front of the store .... ( ...about the photo of 15th January. The sign speaks for itself! A magnificent photo!) 17 Jan 2009 2:03pm @Nilla: thanks nilla dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesQuite a symmetrical store. I can imagine the inside with perfect rows of perfectly matched appliances all in white with white knobs. Great capture. 17 Jan 2009 2:56pm Don Wiley from spokane, United StatesThe store owner did a fine job of setting up this shot with three, even-spaced stoves. The high contrast in the image makes it very strong. Nice one. 17 Jan 2009 4:45pm daina from United StatesIt is the symmetry of the stoves that is at the heart of this image for me. The surroundings have a touch of dilapidation yet that perky trio will warm one’s mood. Love the humor and composition. 17 Jan 2009 5:00pm ordinaryimages from Kentucky Bluegrass, United StatesComes in convenient (3) packs. best...jerry 17 Jan 2009 5:20pm RHYS from United Kingdomthats some window display! Very direct and specific marketing, ' we sell cookers'. So specific the shop doesn't even need a name! 17 Jan 2009 6:22pm Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomWell......... you can choose which one, they're all the same. Perfect shot. 17 Jan 2009 7:21pm Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United StatesAnother great image - grant. Perfect values. This reminds me of 'To Tell the Truth' or the old Merv Griffin fifties quiz show - 'Play Your Hunch'. "OK, Ranges, is it X, is it Y, or is it Z ?" 17 Jan 2009 7:30pm @Stephen Phillips: exactly! Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesGreat sense of order and geometry. Looks like a shot from the 50's when appliances just got popular after the War. Today, nobody put their merchandise near the window for the fear of theft. Great shot Grant. 18 Jan 2009 1:50am martie from US, United StatesWhat a glorious composition! It's delightful, and those stoves look like a page from a different age. 18 Jan 2009 4:01am Matt Sutton from Sydney, Australiaexcellent. they look like robots waging their tails ansd looking cute. "please buy me" 19 Jan 2009 1:23am Teresa from Mountain View, United StatesOvens in the window...waiting for a home. Perfect!! 19 Jan 2009 2:16am michele from Canadai think i've lived in a few rentals with ovens like that. not nostalgic for them. but i like the white repair lines perhaps in that brick work. f 19 Jan 2009 2:43am david from columbus, ohio, United Statesthe composition is spot-on and the three machines in a row couldn't have been placed any more perfectly! 19 Jan 2009 12:18pm Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesWow, looks like something from my childhood. Hard to believe a store like this can be profitable today. Your images display a confidence with film that I don't even have with digital --where I can view a histogram in the process of making a shot. 20 Jan 2009 4:14pm @Twelvebit: i wouldn't assume this store is profitable. your comment about film and digital is interesting. the mere thought of looking at a histogram while trying to take a photo seems overwhelming to me. Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life from United StatesLooks like a photo out of the 40's. Old fashioned, narrow stoves. Building that has seen better days. A great photo. 25 Jan 2009 6:14am |
