Best of them so far - IMO.

You can't beat a good model :-) and an equally good eye does no harm whatsoever.

Rob
Agreed!

Russ, Rob, Dave....thanks.

I hope the group makes it to the summit and back without mishaps.

Thanks again.

My friend K runs marathons but has no interest (so far) in mountain climbing. Hope Ayesha summits!

These would make a great book.

Eric,

Truth is, it would probably be capable of offering an amazing, entire issue, of Vogue or one of those publications; all it needs is a small group of ubermodels and the right clothes... Peter Lindbergh would go climactic over it as, of course, would I, preferably without him around.

Books? I wasted several months making layouts etc. before realising that what turns me on would not be pop enough to let a publisher save his skin.

As with pretty much all shooting for fun (of genres that once supported my lifestyle) I don't think that self-publication meets the demands of my inner demons. Either somebody feels they want to pay for it, or I am letting ego spend my meagre savings. Maybe if I was around fifty or so it could still make some kind of fiscal sense... that bird has turned to ancient dust; no tail feathers left to shake, baby!

"You can't beat a good model".

Rob, Eric, thanks, appreciated!

I can certainly understand where Rob is coming from, given where he's been, but to be quite honest I'm not sure I'm comfortable capturing subjects who knowingly pose. I feel more at home capturing people as I find them but admit that this can also lead to discomfort.

That spot of yellow is so good.

Absolutely.
Keith has a gut color sense that gives a lovely consistency to his photos.

Peter, to be perfectly honest when I first looked at the file I did wonder if the spot of yellow needed to be included. I then masked out that spot and realised that it was almost as if it was casting light upon his face. It stayed!

Eric, Rob, really, too kind, but there again, sadly, I have to admit I wouldn't  have a clue where to start with B&W and I leave that to those who have that expertise.

Excellent people image. Well taken and it tells a story. The boy proudly poses wearing part Western, and part Indian garb, in an Indian environment.

Another of the many children who demanded our attention in India. With no direction from me, this little chap went through a multitude of poses any of which would have made the grade. Leica M240, 50mm Zeiss C Sonnar.



I've been coming back to this splendid thing, Keith, and I'll tell you why: I have four sons. They're all grandpas now, but I remember the expression on this kid's face. You caught it exactly. I don't know whether or not you intended to do that. I suspect you shot a whole series of the kid. But this one says something about boys that age that's timeless. I'll also tell you that if you have a kid with that expression on his face. . . watch out.

It's just perfect, Russ; colours, expression and equilibrium. Personally, I'd put it as one of - if not the best of - Keith's pictures.

It just grips, and can handle repeated scrutiny. Not many photos can do that.

Now, if he could arrange for a model on one of his old Greek beds...

John, thanks, appreciated.

Russ, what can I say, he was a star.

Rob, I'm pretty sure no model would go anywhere near one of my abandoned buildings, let alone one of the abandoned beds. ;-)
