Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United StatesWhen I looked at this I thought of Whistler's Mother. Not the woman, nor the painting, but rather the title...An Arrangement in Gray and Black. 6 Mar 2009 5:14am RHYS from United Kingdommarvelous, this is framed so well. Are you a fan of Walker Evans? 6 Mar 2009 6:41am @RHYS: he's my favorite. jpla from St Barthélémy d'Anjou, FranceLe regard est attiré par les petites fenêtres. 6 Mar 2009 6:47am Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United StatesI really like the randomness of the utility boxes and the wires. I think this one of the very few clean-looking buildings in your collection. Definitely cleaner that the community center from yesterday :) Nice shot. 6 Mar 2009 8:12am @Howard F.: i hadn't thought about that, but you're probably right. thanks howard. Marcie from United StatesLove the graphic simplicity..the contrasting blacks and whites..the detail. Nice! 6 Mar 2009 12:36pm Robert from Kingsville, CanadaThe shadow from the sign is the key element to give it depth. Good eye g. 6 Mar 2009 1:24pm @Robert: thanks robert sherri from Little Rock, United StatesWonderful straight on capture with so many interesting elements. 6 Mar 2009 2:56pm dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United StatesA face in the plaster? The sign post really balances it out. 6 Mar 2009 5:26pm david from columbus, ohio, United Statesa simple composition; a minimalist delight. 6 Mar 2009 6:28pm michele from Canadai don't imagine many people describe your images as sensual but i see it in some of your images (and i don't say this to be flirty). even though there are lots of straight lines and hard surfaces in your images i see something that i can only describe as this very subtle and reserved sensuality. like here the shadow of the sign feel to be kissing the edge of the window. and gosh i hope i haven't made myself look like a complete nutbar with this comment. i mean it respectfully. 6 Mar 2009 9:27pm @michele: well michele, you don't sound like a nutbar to me. i'm very flattered. thanks so much for the kind comment. i really appreciate it. ordinaryimages from Kentucky Bluegrass, United StatesI been say'in ol Grant was one of them sensual fellers, but folks weren't having none of it. Him's subtle too, 'cept when he needs a shavin. 6 Mar 2009 11:49pm @ordinaryimages: which is usually... :) Observing from North West, United KingdomA delightful shot with plenty of texture and detail, very nice. 7 Mar 2009 1:20am dik from McAllen, United StatesNice composition with the repetition of shapes and variety of line quality. The white unifies it all while the cropped window anchors it well. 7 Mar 2009 2:31am Bill from Belton, United StatesI was struck by the degree of whiteness in this shot. Don't remember any other building you have posted that looks this pure and unsullied Grant. As always, a marvelous image! 7 Mar 2009 2:40am daina from New York, United StatesWhite on white except for a some black and gray : } Marvelous composition - I think Michele has a point and I think it is true of any "artist” worth his/her salt for in the end one has to feel the "creation" no matter what it is for it to work and I use the word work because I do not want to sound too effusive or flowery etc. Sensuality is almost a prerequisite to do anything well and by sensuality I simply mean feeling one's work in various ways and not intellectualizing it or thinking it. 7 Mar 2009 3:11am @daina: thanks daina. you know i appreciate you comments very much. Polydactyle from Montreal, CanadaPerfect!!! textures, shadows and compo. Well done! 7 Mar 2009 8:35pm Lucca from Cologne, GermanyThis is one of my favourites. I especially like the white in white and the lines on top. 7 Mar 2009 10:57pm @Lucca: thanks lucca Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesSoft enveloping lighting. Interesting how the fragment of window on the right balances the image. 9 Mar 2009 2:57am shallowregret from Kongsberg, Norwayvery airy, very delicate, so complicated yet so simple. 9 Mar 2009 10:25pm |
