I like the mood of this beautiful photo. It looks as if was taken in 1906.Still Young wrote:

It's a great shame the large "Rough Trade" sign is obscured.

A conservative reaction (slightly too conservative even for my taste) to an article in the NYTimes about ruin porn, photographing abandoned buildings, in Detroit, which has 70,000 of them. It raises an interesting question:
Photographers are drawn to abandoned buildings, much as they are drawn to pictures of the homeless, for similar reasons.
--They are colorful and have interesting surfaces and textures
--Metaphorically, displaying a ruin shows the effects of time and decay
--In some sense, the whole modern esthetic, "anti theatrical," is a celebration of chance and decay.
As I said re: Chernobyl (and this is probably true of the homeless, and bearded wizened men in general) there is really no information in these photos, since all decayed structures tend, after time, to look the same. So the startling and surprising originality of these photos becomes nothing but a graphically charged cliche.
This is one thing I like about Chris' series on Seattle, it isn't purely or primarily graphic. The voice narrating the series is strong and informative.

You're right. My wife loves it, but it's not to my taste.Zubu Barunda wrote:

Well, Frank, any comparison with Zubu is an outrageously high compliment....and a comparison he surely wouldn't relish! A great start to my day - not so good for him, of course.
It seems that the chocolate flavoured herbal tea does not serve Frank well.
I probably reacted to the photo a little bit because, good as it is, it is less challenging than may or your more original compositions, so there was a feeling of relief.
I agree about the crest. It should be left.

Hi Zubu
Why this title? The micro airplane? The tilted man against the tilted tower is so prominent.
Zubu, you are posting recently beautiful stuff. As if you are in a period of “sale”.
The sunbather is stunning [yes, and the pigeons…]. The white lines on the road add so much.
Thanks for your reply to my recent post. The sepia gives it the old look.

Like the George Clooney movie.

I have to agree with Sal and Zubu.
An oustanding image, and very different from your usual subject treatment.
I'd love to see it as a big print.

Is there anything they can't do?
Here is the controversy:
