I liked these. In my amateur opinion, all but the first photograph have an atmospheric vintage feel to them of old black and white film. I like that mood. Criticism-wise, I think the first photograph is just too busy and lacks a cetral point of interest or figurative focus: it's got a strange perspective that makes it look very distorted and perhaps the framing could have been done differently, as there are so many random things all in pretty good focus, and [my] eye is not sure what to rest on. That's my only concern for the album Everything else is personal taste.

That first one is a polarizing image, I think. I like it because of the strong geometry -- the horizontal bisecting line that draws you to Kyle's face, the asymmetry with Kyle standing 1/3 of the way from the left edge of the screen with no corresponding line on the right side that gives a sense of dynamic tension, the slightly offset pattern of squares in the top third that keeps the top third of the image from being too stark -- but I can completely see why someone might think that it's busy. Because it is busy. I saw it as an exercise in using the lines already present in a scene to direct the viewer's attention, but I may have been too ambitious.

And thank you.
