Description this is the first of a series of four...
these are true life people with a lesser fortune.
they stand out these days, their loneliness in contrast to all the joy, their poverty in contast to the gifts and wealth all around.
I hope I move you with these. Make you feel how well off we all are. Just having the basics: a family, friends, a warm meal. Not so much to go out and give as to appreciate all we already have and take for granted.
Forgive me if I spoil the festive mood.
My eyes are open and my heart feels...
Merry Christmass...

Brillstein In reply to ntora [2007-11-06 20:20:59 +0000 UTC]

You can do more styles (!) - don't have to limit yourself to one particular style or theme of capture. This is great, caught in the moment and well composed.

Still I would love to shoot and say this is ...me.
I do not know...
Sometimes Ilike abstract and vague while others clean and crisp and distinct.
It is an inner part that need exploration and I havent been around in there ...

ntora In reply to fortun [2006-07-11 07:17:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for letting me know why...
Actually I like the high contrast b/ws and I need to have black as well as white in them... So I push it to limits that if a monitor is not calibrated to the finest detail it might get off on one end or the other...
I feel you need to get harsh on this image too cause of the subject. Softness wouldnt have complemented her emotion... That is how I felt. I am just letting you know cause there is lots of thinking and deciding going on before a final image is submitted
Hope you find more you like in my work soon

...shot some chromogenic (c-41) b&w film and overexposed by a full stop - gave me crazy contrast...

...it was ilford xp2, might wanna try it...

i work digital

gave up on film a few years ago... i think it is 10 now...
anyway i loved getting my contrast in the darkroom using high filters during printing... so i had a balanced image on neg and pushed it either way on prints...

I try to say constructive things and give comments that will help.
Sometimes (most of the time ) I sound very negative and snobish and mean but I mean it all in good will and helpful intention.
Thank you for your complement

thanks... some, the philosophers of life know how to appreciate all that is "given"
some need the message.

there is my influence...
