Ah, Sal, you raise the age-old question all art photographers must answer: Is it an ogle, or is it art? Yesterday was the kind of warm spring day that causes ladies to take out limbs and air them...

It's the way that reality is retouched and distorted in the news and editorial parts of the Times that I find more predictable and disturbing.

We met a young woman at a party yesterday who was...

Not just smooching, Sal, but gazing.  Eros is in the mind, and mystic union flows from the soul.

Another picture worth looking at more than once. The old woman would look at home in Walker Evans' Subway Series, although not as well dressed.   She may be perfectly respectable, probably is,...

It is unfair to do SP so close to home so easily.   The shot  you commented on was taken out the window of a restaurant during dinner.  Here, I was just resting for a minute on a bench and...

He is embracing two cultures.   This guy is blading with a backpack (a white thing), but dribbling a basketball - and with his laces untied!  (note the outward angle of the wheels). Traffic is...

No, just run of the mill Bell's Palsy.

Well, if you want to give money to bums for them to spend on drugs and alcohol, and if it gives a buzz of self-righteousness, these are no concern of mine.   It's your money and your...

I've been working getting a good diagonal WA shot of a dog being walked and had 1 or 2 near misses.  This is a hit, of course.   The near leash is a great diagonal line.  Foreground man and dog are...

Paralysis:As a result of my eyelid paralysis, I generally am not able to see clearly through my left, shooting, eye.  This has been beneficial to my compositions.   It has forced me to compose...

The couple kissing is a very strong moment, with one on a bike and the geometry of the pair.   The lines of objects running into their heads from both sides is unfortunate.   As a result the...

I invoke Godwin's Law. Merely my opinion, Chris.  I am entitled to it.   Thanks for the correction.   = Best Friends Forever, but seems to be a female thing.  Yes, it's unusual to have such an...

Nice to get the positive feedback, Sal.  Wife and daughter were not so supportive.   They were talking about capturing and neutering the stray tom cat that keeps marking our door, and I started...

This photo actually works in a Renoirish kind of way.   I would never think of leaving all the background figures blown out, but it seems to work here.

A helpful first step might be to look up the definition of hobo.  None of these people are hobos.

Well, Sal, I don't have a boat.  :) I live here because I made some bad investments that brought me to financial ruin. So, as Tom Hardy says: "O 'Melia, my dear, this does everything crown!   Who...

And put it in your you-know-where. RF used pictures of common people to attack mid-century America. The aspirations of the American common man curdle the hearts of educated Europeans and certain of...
