Hi you all,

Wel just some of a very fine day, photographing and above all enjoying to explore Antwerp together with my dear friend Dirk. Just a couple of hours, but we discovered two new worlds.

Just the first four:

Well it will take some days to carefully going through these gems,

Hi David, Take a look into the noa's profile and his "contributions" to this forum.

Jacques:

fine set of images. I'm not sure if it's "competence" or "luck", maybe both, but, anyway, great work. I wonder about the lens that you used in these, 105 mm DC?
have a nice sunday my friend

Peoples faces usually make for much more interesting images than the backs of their heads. Why didn't you photograph them from the front?

Hi morris,

NIce to know you like these.

But be sure most of this people will not be taken photographs on other days than the sabbath.

They do have a strange idea about images. Mozes decending from the mountains with the ten commentments, saw they made a statue to woreship, so he said don't make yourself a image to woreship, not telling you are not aloow to make a painting a drawing a statue just to use your human abilities, but just as a warning don't make any thing a gog besides God.

Well many persons do make a god of money, do make a god of a celebrity, well images in general, ain't to be woreshipped, just ment to be enjoyed,

Well just my thoughts,
jacques.

And thanks for the comments.

Hi Simon,

So you don't lik ethe shapes of back of people, only their faces ?

Yes, faces sometimes, well maybe a lot of times might be far more interesting.

But may I ask you a question ?

Do you have any idea about how this people feel about being photographed ?

jacques.

Besides your comments are very according to the 'rules', well IMHO there ain't suche a thing as rules, but I think you believe in rules. Do you ?

You also might need people's feet in the frame to be satisfied, or can you enjoy frames with half feets or missing feets to ?

Well you see, your comments gave me a lot of questions to ask,

jacques.

Dear AdiB,

I know you know there is to be a bit of luck, but there has to be much more of the heart.

I have been working very hard on photography the last three years and I feel I like to continue, making better but also less frames, it;'s a path curving from left to right, going furtherin the right direction and bending backwords some times.

Besides studio works and posing, we just have to have some luck, as a split second earlier or later, the frame will be totally different,

jacques.

Wishing you still can breath without feeling danger, imagining I wouyld feel quite unbalanced, well al my best wishes with you and yours.

I see the backs of people whenever I walk down a busy road. Some 'backs' are visually stimulating ... most are not.

Sure

Member said:

I don't. Do you? Whenever I photograph a person/people in a public place I never know how they feel about being photographed unless I speak to them, or I make it obvious I'm photographing them first.

Member said:

rules. Do you ?

I believe that your images would be far more interesting if they were taken from another angle. I believe that the so-called rules of photography are best understood and THEN ignored when appropriate: When to ignore them would make for a stronger image.

Member said:

Depends on whether or not the feet are relevant to the strength of the image.
