Graphic qualities and neat shadow play and reflection. Very well observed, Grant

Solid and monumental and yet it is only a corner of a building, but you have made it imposing, with an unyielding presence. Even the one shadow seems to shrink from it. I find it fascinating the presence you are able to instill in your subjects.

classic two-point perspective study with one of your signature shadows to add interest. like this :)

It's just the corner of a building and shouldn't even be interesting, but somehow it's a riveting and powerful image. What is it...the film...the composition...the tone....the light?...all of it no doubt, and the very deep sense of dimensionality they all convey, plus something more that defies description.

It's amazing that straight lines and weathered concrete can have such a powerful impact. The TMax is really appealing in its handling of subtle tones and light.

i agree with daina about the presence you instill into your subjects. the elements sometime seem simple but both you and daina put them together in a way that creates amazing narratives. here i'm struck by the vine running up and then down and the reflections of the vehicles. to me this one speaks of little things full of life energy and determination that go unnoticed and things that are fleeting. opps 'life energy' sounds like i've been too long at the metaphysical center.

@michele: i can stand some "life energy" talk. especially if it means being compared to daina. :-)

Solid and permanent, like a huge monolith, brilliantly presented in this shot.

I just love your straight ahead images...and the way something odd is thrown into the mix. In this case it's the shadow from the (I think) light. There is a real presence here, like while one is standing here looking, there is someone stranding directly behind me.

It's unstable at the bottom, inclined walkway, even though the building is strong above, interesting perspective. Enjoyable.

I love that there are reflections on the right part and not on the left part. I like particularly the part where are reflected the lower right cars it is attractive!
