I think that photographers have another kind of expression when caught by a college. There is no expression!

A kind of “no surprise”… Or maybe “you have a wrong address”…

Your thought.
 
His expression mirrors how I would feel if I were caught. Unless I was oblivious, looking for my next shot. :-P

This is such a gem, Frank! Perfect. Wonderful.

Did I say that I love it?

Sal
 
Gawd! He is wonderful! What a catch! And the wall, and...everything about it.

Both are treasures, but the first really grabs. It has a special, elusive something. Frank will describe it for us better than I can.

I'm going to be a mild dissenter here. It is a lovely, nostalgic shot, but

The scene frame in the middle is only good, not great.

The larger opening on the right is very blah, and that is where the eye is drawn. If it were stronger, or more complementary to the scene in the middle, this would be a lot stronger.

It is what we philosophers call the character of the individual. The first shot actually shows a sunbather, since he is relating to the sun and full of the sweet satisfaction of life. The second shot is painful to view because the man is unhappy with the sunlight he has decided to sit in.


Still, you were very fortunate to be find sunlight in Jerusalem to compete with the tanning fields of London. :)

But she literally has a panache, Sal.

I don't see any plumb line, unless I am mistaken.

A fine and moving essay that touches the heart of things. Gordon Parks photographs a disastrous family in Harlem in 1967. The youngest child becomes, in effect, his godson and is the only survivor of a family that cannot make it even when given a new home to live in.

A must read.

Harlem today is full of million dollar, and rising, homes. A woman in our church runs a townhouse that supports the homeless in Harlem. It's a total dump that needs at least $500k in repairs. Time has passed it by.

I doubt there is a family in NYC as deprived as the family in the article, although there are certainly quite a few (and at all income levels) that are as depraved.
