Nicely composed, Pascal -- and beautiful as well. I can feel the wind and the cold setting in.

Hey, that's MY coffee pot -- how come I there's no beautiful naked woman to make me more???
I love the bulb in all of these. It says a lot.
No doubt this was a fabulous exibition. I love all of these, they're just so crazy and accurate. Only a genius could think them up -- tell her I said so

Fabulous, John! Personally, I think it's Jimmy Stewart
The Plus X is great -- nice tones, and it's going to be fun to see what you'll do with it in the future.
Now -- for the stuff I always love in your work: look how every element here is lined up so perfectly to lead the eye around the frame. Just wonderful.

Manuela's seeing what I am -- both hesitation and intensity in her face. It's an engaging photograph, made even better by your framing, and I like it very much.

Stunning, David -- meticulous without being boring or static (as meticulous can sometimes be). It also feels very natural & unplanned. Very beautiful, and I think the white button is just splendid!

beautiful beautiful beautiful -- love the composition, just lovely. Think I'd squeeze just a hair more contrast out of it to really show off the midtones. But that's me, and I'll certainly take this as it is

One of the best abstracts I've ever seen, Tom. Perhaps it's your title, but I feel an immediate sense of fully understanding this -- and not in a way that makes me want to look at it quickly and dismiss it as "oh yes, I understand" But in a deeper, mysterious way that makes me want to come back to it again and again.

I've been studying this off and on all day -- like heiroglyphs on a cave wall, or as you said, wallpaper -- in semi-darkeness as you're trying to fall asleep. At various times I have seen a female breast, Jesus Christ, an old Buddhist monk climbing a hill, and a small pig.
It is always a little bit different -- like everything good

What a beauty, John! I'm not one to worry what a photo's about, I just love being seduced by good tones and a sense that the world is making or unmaking itself.
In that, you've certainly succeeded!

What a great title! Are those apples? WEll, they're certainly going to be happy when they get home . . .
I think the tones are decent here, considering that there's a lot of sun -- it's made beautiful shadows for you, too.

Ah, now you see her, now you don't!
I love the delicacy of the disappearing form against the solid form of the stairs. I also really like the out of place tile in the bottom right corner -- it all works very well for me.

So coy I love the pose and of course the leaves and the framing. It's your usual surprising and excellent work -- and by usual I don't mean anything even remotely resembling typical. It's always unique, but always yours.

I know that when a sculptor makes a monument, he intends a certain emotional intensity and life for it -- but you, my friend, always seem to find a way to amplify this, make it more visceral and powerful. Tis a gift --
and I am so glad to have seen this, it's a beautiful work.

You've captured a beautiful mood here -- love the high contrast, the man's shadow and the things beyond -- it's all very peaceful. Which is how I always feel when I am alone. Nicely done!

Peter, it's PERFECT!!! And it's the perfect camera for you, I think -- you've got such a wonderful eye -- just look at that shadow, and the lines of the sidewalk . . . beautiful.
Please tell Eva that a woman who lives halfway across the world in America says she is the prettiest little girl she's seen in a long long time.
Have you seen the Holga shots Michael Klemmer has done with multiple exposures? They're very lovely, too.
