The picture is a brilliant brief exercise in perception. By different means -- blur and shade-screen -- we do not see either the lamp body or the source of light, but still easily identify the...

Even without the title, there's excellent reference to the dolls' transition from home to bin, especially in the eave shape and angle repeated in the foreground edge of the bin. Perfect depth of...

Thank you for sharing this.  It's a wonderful, powerful picture which evokes a sweet sense of reminiscence.  Some lines from Whitman: By that long scan of waves, myself call'd back, resumed upon...

Thanks; it's always a pleasure to get a shot without clutter.

Thanks, Andrew.  I like the contrast of lines, too.    You had suggested to me an Oly 100mm f/2 for use on my Sony NEX, but I happened to come across this Canon FD85 first.  The size/weight is good...

Really attractive combo of greens and blues.  I remember the brand-new submarine USS Permit (SSN-594) in San Diego in 1962, but I don't recall seeing a picture of the fish until now.  The fish is...

Nope, I didn't even check the price.  They're bright colors -- red and blue, which is why I first noticed them.  Later in PP I decided on B&W to better contrast the rounded chair contours with the...

Color for me, Thane. Partly because the background is rather busy, and the girl's red skirt helps separate her from that, to bring her more into the foreground.  But also because it's a really nice...

I concur with Thane on #2, Andrew.  Seeing more hands in the picture, especially the fellow with the cane, seems to offer more insight to the people.  For example, now I can see the cane-guy is...

Sidewalk display of a local "antique" mall. Canon FD85 f/1.8 on Sony NEX-6.

Did you buy it recently with American Express card? I drowned a camera in salt water a few years ago and AmEx reimbursed me for the loss. I think that the coverage is for 90 days, but don't recall...

Why buy a bedframe anyplace else?

After viewing the video several more times and with a small luxury of time, I can add to my initial brief reaction. In no particular order: Music. A good fit to the visual. The energetic beat...

Thanks for posting these.  I enjoy street art, and would never see these fine paintings otherwise.

I have the 5N and NEX6, so this may be a little different perspective than the 5-to-6 comparison. One consideration would be whether you plan to use "legacy" lenses. The size, grip and handling of...

Love the ending.  :-)

I enjoyed seeing these, especially along with reading Wikipedia articles on Lofoten and Reine.  The craggy landforms are amazing; flat land must be incredibly dear.    Thanks for your post.
