I looked through your portfolio and think that, in my opinion, this is your best picture. They're all wonderful pictures but this one really speaks to me. I love the cropping off of your face and the indifference between the two subjects. Yet, one relying on the other for strong composition. This pic. remindes me of the old masters like Steichen. I remember your pictures from another website, the name escapes me. Great to see another film photographer alive and kicking.

Ahhhh...3200. I loved to do studio work with T-max 3200 and one or two lights. So easy to work with. I looked through your portfolio and saw the polaroid transfer too. It seems we have common interests. I also graduated with a photography degree. What paper are you using? Are you using any filters for the 3200? Believe me, I've been through it all, I'm shooting with Neopan now. I found the 3200 to be to contrasty and I wanted to keep detail in the shadows. This one is my favorite in the series. It seems the most natural . Keep going, I know it's hard to stay motivated. I've been at it for 11 years and still struggle. Drop me an e-mail if you wish, I love talking shop with someone who still uses film.

Looked through all your pictures and decided that this was my favorite. I love the harsh lighting, the composition and I love a photograph that tells a story. You've captured a great moment, I love how subtle the body postures are. Nicely done Mahamed.

Hell Ya!!! Now this is a kick ass picture. The stress looks great. How'd you get the stains in there? PLEASE don't say photoshop. Very old school style. I love pictures like this. DOF is perfect and the scratches look great in this one. Looks more like an etching than a photo. Can't tell you how much I love this. And I don't even like landscapes! A favorite indeed.

Really love your IR work John. If I saw this hanging in a gallery I'd snap it up. Have you ever heard of Eddie Ephraums? Your work reminds me of his. Same texture and feel. I just love the clouds in this shot. You're motivating me!!!

Nice atmosphere! I was wondering how the Konica compared to Kodak's HIE. You did a great job, not blow out in the highlights, just the right amount of IR effect. Subsequently, I just submitted a Kodak IR photo a few pictures in front of yours. It's nice to see a few of us still shoot film. I'm going to buy a few rolls of this, I hear it's easier to handle and cheaper than Kodak. I believe that pile of rocks are called a "caren"(?). They're used a trail markers. Nice tone too.

Reminds me of some neighborhoods I'd walk through in Belize. I wonder what this photo would look like in Sepia toned? I really like the repeating pattern and shape on the palm trees.
