Great perspective and fantastic light! This is a killer shot, David, that's got a wonderful film noir quality to it. Love that you took it with the camera you did. Damn, those old screw mount Leicas can still shoot with the best of today's cameras. Well done.

Gorgeous work Al. The DOF is particularly nice allowing the bokeh in the foreground and the background to focus attention on the lovely details of the branches. Absolutely breathtaking tonal range as well with great luminosity. Is this a scan of a wet print? Regardless of it being a wet print or not, its great work. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful B/W work with lovely tones and great separation. Images like this are why I adore B/W work. Excellent work.

Not a single thing I'd change on this. Its exceptional for its detail and depth. Good work with the color too. Its at just the right level from my point of view. Great shot.

This is a fantastic image. I love the effects created by the IR film, which makes the horses stand out perfectly. The composition is very nice. I think the placement of the horses is perfect. Its hard enough to get IR film to work right in 35mm format, but to see it done so well in a 4x5 format is stunning.
Yep, David, told me about you too. I'm glad I've finally gotten the chance to begin seeing your work. Thanks for having a look at my stuff.

And those expressions are priceless David. An excellent moment captured with lovely detail and tones. I can't see a thing that would improve this gem of an image. Well done.

A lovely image David. Judging from their dress and their hairstyles, this isn't a recent photo. However, that doesn't keep it from conveying a moment that's as effective today as when the image was taken. The moment draws me in, wanting to know what's being discussed and what these folks are all about. This is, to me, what makes your work so effective. Well done.

I like the composition a lot with the juxtaposition of the "ancient" institution against the modern high-rise. I think a couple of things could be done to manage the brightness of the high-rise in the background: either a simple bit of burning in or (if its a wet print) a very quick pre- or post-flash of the print (no more than half a second) to dull down the background a bit more. Still its good work.

Good to see someone using the wide-angle in street photography. I like the composition a lot but I do wish his face was slightly sharper. Still, that criticism shouldn't override the fact that this is an excellent image. Good work.

Outstanding capture pal. Another one of those wonderful candids that are so characteristic of your and Dana's work. I think if there was anything it needed, it might be a bit of burning in on the face and the arm, but other than that its beautiful. I'd love to take this negative into the darkroom and print this one up. Maybe we can if I get out there after the New Year.

Gorgeous image. The man is beautifully rendered despite the bright, harsh quality of the light. The facial expression conveys satisfaction of having a task completed, but also conveys possibly a hard life through the deep lines etched on his face. Nothing like a Leica lens to get it just right, huh?
Your name conjures up someone from 80 years ago who bore your name. A great writer and revolutionary. Any relation to you?

A very melancholy image. The composition is excellent and the tones are breathtaking. What I find particularly compelling is the subtle coloration of the tattered curtain in the window. Its somehow suggestive of the theme that once life filled this sad old structure. A wonderful piece of work.

Wow, one hell of an image kiddo. You have this instinct for finding the coolest environments for digging up these abstracts. The geometry is wonderful with crisp lines and outstanding tones. The sense of decay and abandonment is almost palpable as I look at this. Have you spent much time looking at the images of Walker Evans? If not, get yourself a book of his works, any of them. You will feast your eye on images that would completely resonate with your aesthetic sense. I like this a lot.
By the way, did you get my email with my new email address? If so, let me know how everything is. As I'm SOL on MSN, I haven't talked to you in ages. Hope you're well.

Oh man, Sean, what an excellent image. This is the kind of image I hope you will be cherishing for an awful long time. Its intimate and very warm. The tones are magnificent. I think you used flash here, but its used masterfully without the godawful washed out look. Wonderfully done. A real treasure.

Fringe of the curtains? No matter. Its wonderfully abstract and fascinating. Its, in its own way, and wonderfully expressive image of something that would seem to be a bit mundane, assuming it is curtains. Damn, where do your visions come from? Outstanding work.

Terrence, this is outstanding work. Man, I gotta get me a wider angle lens, just wish I could afford the 24mm Summicron for my outfit. Got a spare two grand? Anyway, this is outstanding with the capture of a fantastic facial expression and great DOF. The slight blur of the hands is a very nice touch. Excellent work yet again.

I'm not so hot on the crop mainly because it puts the horizon right in the middle of the image. I think your composition works much better. The textures and light you caught on the water are great. Very nice work.

Terrence, another excellent capture. This one is packed with emotional power. She seems to be weeping and lost, unsure where to go. The composition seems to convey that she has a number of paths she could travel but that perhaps none of them can take her to where she wants to go. A very clean composition. Maybe you could darken it a bit given the mood, but that's strictly a matter of taste. I like it.

I wish you could hear how loudly I'm laughing. This shot is just fantastic as is, but your caption is truly wonderful icing on the cake. The guy's facial expression is a million dollar face. The kid is making me howl. Wonderfully good work. Waist-level?

Another waist level, eh? Very nicely captured and another excellent use of the wide angle. There are some great lines in this composition created by the fluorescent lights that draw the eye right to the guy. Excellent work.

What an outstanding decisive moment! This is such a killer shot that's making me laugh outloud as I view it. The facial expressions are great and then you realize the guy is a priest. I hope you're printing this up as an 11x14 and putting it on your wall. I like that you're going with wide angle lenses for these shots. They make for a lot more fluid and dynamic street shots don't they. Believe me if I could lay my hands on 24mm Summicron for my M6, I'd be one happy camper. Great stuff.

Excellent work. Was this taken at waist-level? This has a very interesting perspective with the way the guy's legs bisect the scene between the two girls on either side. So many very cool details in this, from the girl's dress to the tattoos on the guys legs, to the skull and crossbones on the other girl's bag. An excellent piece of PJ work. Well done.

Uzair is lucky to have a photographer in the family. The best shots of me at this age usually are washed out photos taken with a Kodak Instamatic, but damn I looked cute in a little cowboy hat.
This is lovely work Chris. I can see that the negative was perfectly exposed and developed because there is nice detail across the whole range of tones here. The pose and the crop are outstanding. What I particularly like is the fact that your portraits are confrontation, not in an adversarial way, but in an inviting, intimate way. This is a perfect example of that. Beautiful work.

Chris, this is stunning. The other Nana shot that showed her as if she was crying (the one I saw elsewhere) conveys anger and defiance, whereas this shows her far more vulnerable and far more pained. However, she is presented far more beautifully too. Not that the other wasn't gorgeous as well but there an empathetic response I get from this shot that makes it seem softer and more beautiful to me. An absolutely wonderful piece of work (again).
