I can remember you have posted quite a few elegant images of her. Sad to learn she has gone. My thought is with you at this moment.

Wow! Love this one. The simplicity of the composition, the sparse palette - wonderful!

Very nice, image Tony. Glad to see you here and looks like the GXR-M is working well in your hands. You're prompted me to dig mine out and shoot a few frames. Congrats on your new Leica too. Hope you'll be posting more image here.
Cheers,

Spectacular, my friend. All of them! Anyone who minds your posting more images has to be crazy!l_objectif wrote:
Dear Raaj,
I am still completely lost in my folders. But I hope you don't mind me posting some more. This time, some landscapes!

Very nice, Richard. Love the first one - there is a lot going on in that frame. My only quibble - clicking on the first one did not result in a larger image being presented, which would have be great.CelticOdyssey wrote:
My favorite photo of the last few years, plus a close runner-up. Both shot with Leica D-Lux5. Interestingly enough, although I don't shoot a great deal it, my favorites do tend to be b&w images.
neighborhood cafe, Rome
Oy Vey!! shipboard card game in the Mediterranean (runner-up)
Thanks for looking!

Art, this is a beautiful image. I remember many of other fine images you had posed of her. Very sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences to you and the family.Artichoke wrote:

at first reading your OP, I didn't like the across all time wording, as it seemed a tad hyperbolic
the past few months have had me thinking about eternity more often than I wished
from this experience, I realized how important family photography is for me & how my my family influenced my photography
my father took my two cousins and me to the Family of Man exhibit when it came to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the first stop on its tour after MOMA
my Mom then took my little brother & me to see it a few days latter
my parent's love of orchids re-ignited my fascination with photography when I took my Agfa 1280 to photograph their collection
Mom's favorite saying was "elegantly simple & simply elegant," a written comment she received on her blue ribbon offering (from a judge she held in high esteem) at a South Eastern Pennsylvania Orchid Society show ...she would be delighted with Choi's comment, as am I
thanks to all for your condolences

Raaj,
Thanks for the kind words. Try this image; I'm hoping it will work properly now.

Don't know why this image doesn't work properly. Try "View: Original Size" ??

Raaj,
Wouldn't it be cool if these images could go into a dpr leica gallery and intermittently be refreshed. Is that possible do you know?

although this is probably too late to be seen, i like the idea for the thread raaj came up with, and enjoyed seeing people's photos. i won't post a batch, though inevitably the selection will seem a little bit arbitrary. but here it is:
om3, 35/2, konica 3200
i've always had an inordinate fondness for this photo, made more than 20 years ago, far from home, on a dark and rainy evening when i was so sick i could hardly stand, and obviously didn't expose as well as i should have. the grain is worth examining, for folks who've forgotten how far we have come in the digital age. nevertheless, i have had a 12" print of this hanging in my home ever since i shot it--the paper print, which i made myself in a wet darkroom, looks better than this neg scan, actually. i really like the hands, the face which disappears into shadow leaving the pig's head in exchange, the gently curving lines over the spine, and all those parallel corrugations. i even like the grain, actually.
it represents to me a standard of what i am always looking for, and a promise that it isn't impossible to find.

What a fantastic shot! You were there at the right time and you were spontaneous enough to captured the shot. The equipment's limits are irrelevant, or another way to look at it is that the 'limits' of the film sensitivity add to the image's disturbing, surreal and funny quality.xtoph wrote:

Its the best shot I've seen for a while.
There is a shot by the artist Cornelia Parker, of whome I'm a fan. Here it is:

I don't know why, but your photo reminds me of it. I guess they are both surreal, a mildly threatening and primal.

I agree. I think it's an amazingly atmospheric shot. Beautiful tones and colours.
Digital is quick and sharp but it can't turn in a shot like this.
Inspiring stuff (I loved my OM4 by the way)

Last year my Chinese friends took me on an off-road trip along the Mongolian/Russian border. This is their daughter who was a bit tired after 4000 of the 6000km road trip. I know it is heavily cropped and a bit unfocussed....but I like it, and so does she. She was 6 then... 7 today!
I made a photobook for them (and me) ... you can find it here....
