In time they too will have to be switched out. There are a few people that are thinking about purchasing! It's exciting to see them go to a new home! 40"x60" make for a very nice wall covering!

Those raw moments are part of a dimension that only those willing to see are able to see it. Many are even intimidated to capture those moments. Photography holds a power that not too many other mediums hold and in the current time, I cannot help but think what better way to bring some personal-connectivity back into society than with photography. A photo will touch every person that views it. A photo will provoke a response when it is combined with a long article that someone doesn't have time to read. A photo will touch many in a way that nothing else can. A photo can provide evidence. A photo holds power. Thanks again for your kind words and sharing your story, Lori. -Mike Thanks Lori!

Your overhead shots, both beautiful, but I also feel more comfortable with the second. Being a bit more off balance, with the darker,more complex border to the right provides some ying to the yang, It reels in the focus just enough to create some boundaries. It does entertain and satisfy a bit more. you are quite talented. Second thought.Working at a nursing home, I am honored and priveleged enough to witness some very raw moments. The other day a gal from a photography class came in and wanted to just "take some pictures of the elderly". Obviously they have rights, and deserve respect, but our social worker began to show her around and she shot some one dimensional shots of smiling women sitting together on a bench. Pretty generic. She took no time to compose or adjust lighting etc. In my mind, I was framing the profile, in black and white of an old Italian woman, staring blankly out the window, natural lighting and shadows,her salt & pepper wirey hair,large nose with large pores, empty eyes now sad,traces of smile wrinkles long ago,lids half mast. Some say I think too much-maybe some people see more than meets the eye,some people think in more than one dimension?Love your work and your thoughts. Hi Michael~ Two thoughts to share.

I do want to talk a bit about a few pictures that I do have. I know that you will form your own idea/opinion of each image. Good. That is what this is all about. I would love to hear what you see in the images. What story do you have to tell? What story are you reading? How this image makes you feel? Photography is not only capturing images, but also viewing and reading images. The feelings, emotions and reaction that the image brings to you, the viewer. (See my A Richard Avedon Essay Post for more on this.)

With lightroom or aperture you just filter them out and you don't have to see them, you never know what you might need.
