More Rejuvination

:: from the archives ::

These are images I posted back, alas, when So the Echo existed. They were all items from the salvage sections of Rejuvination, where I took my most recent photos this week. I really kinda liked these when I originally posted them...now, they just don't do much for me. C'est la vie!


To have one's individuality completely ignored is like being pushed quite out of life--like being blown out as one blows out a light. -- Evelyn Scott

Links in the Food Chain

And lest anyone think differently. Yes, that is a REAL fried spider Natalie is attempting to, and eventually did, eat. P.S. I just noticed that the critter in the top shot only has 7 legs. Rough life.

Breaching




The image was born(e) as a photo, really. But it just sort of lost its grip on reality after awhile and devolved into something... 'other'wise.

Reflections of a Lazy Day



:: from the archives ::

What I like about this shot:
(a) my subject was very cooperative :)
(b) I took this through a thick pane of plexiglass, and was surprised it came out as clearly as it did

What I don't like about this shot:
(a) it seems a bit too symmetrical
(b) the thick cement ridge separating bear from water irritates me
(c) aside from bear and reflection, there's nothing else interesting in the frame

Your Evaluation? Honest critiques appreciated. What could have made this a different and/or better shot?

After the Rain



What I like about this shot:
(a) the warm setting sun color
(b) the distinct depth
(c) the jagged edge of the tarp cutting diagonally across the shot
(d) it was a 'happenstance' find. I happened to catch a glance of the sun coming through the rain specked tarp out of the corner of my eye walking across the porch to click yet another sunset shot

What I don't like about this shot:
(a) the tarp piece is not in clear focus - so the whole shot ends up looking blurry
(b) the tarp piece is not large enough to really catch and keep your eye before it wanders and stays on the blurry background.
(c) the background composition is just mediocre. I like the sun, the bridge and the clouds, but the trees on the right are too dark and distracting from the shot

My Evaluation:
(a) thumbs up on 'concept' and 'find'
(b) thumbs down on execution

What do you think? (Kind honesty appreciated.) :)

Lady in Waiting


:: from the archives ::

Las Vegas. A whirlwind trip to meet some friends (32 hours, to be precise). A so-so camera. A bride text messaging on her mobile in the incandescent lighting of the Bellagio lobby. And the anonymity that only an incredibly crowded venue will afford.
