Strong picture - the milk one - it certainly makes you look! But has it got any meaning beyond what one sees?

It's a tribute to hawkers in Singapore. part of a series. it'll only make sense if you've been to hawker centres there. On the other hand, it's also good if it doesn't make sense

Photography is an artform and I have always learned (and teach) that in art there is no right or wrong

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=215567\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Frank,
Despite any personal opinions here you have achieved something that most photographers can only dream about. I can scroll through thousands of pictures on internet and in a split second I will recognize Frank Doorhof work even before I see an Elinchrom logo. It is unmistakable yours, your style - love it or hate it.
The only other photographer I can say the same about it is Jorgan Teller. Most people I know can't even understand the phenomena of his success, my young assistants are saying " the King is nude"
but never less is the king.

I personally have a problem with the statement that photography is an art. I believe that photography can be an art, but it take an artist to make it an art. Has nothing to do with the media of photography by itself.

I agree 100%.

Photography can be a form of art. Like writing, singing, painting, gardening or cooking.

But i don't think that Ronald Mc Donald or the Colonel Sanders of KFC are great artists. But they have a lot of "restaurants".

And their products are easy to recognize !

I personally agree that while anyone can take a photograph that single act does not necessary make the person a photographer. Same with art, it takes a very special talent to turn a photograph into a piece of art; add to that, a mechanic has a skill while an artist has a talent. This thread containing a heck of a lot of images reinforces (at least to me) that we are privileged to have some very great talent amongst our members.

Hi,

A series of studio portraits of a group of people that live together on a veranda in the inner city. Some stay behind to guard their few belongings while the others go to beg on the street corners. They make about R50-00 ( 6.5 usd ) per day.

Thanks, Ivan

Franky,

Get over yourself, relax. csp is in all likelihood a chick, and not a guy. Probably strung a little too tight (so to speak). You may have on occasion put a lady in a cage. I may have put one in chains. I'm sure the right-wing, moralist photogs can gather and reminisce on Mark Tuckers private forum. In the meantime, enjoy your life, and enjoy your work.

Look at it this way: the vegetables got off lightly - they could have been eaten!

Mamiya ZD camera, 80mm AF
From the last session.

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=215507\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Michael,

This is a great image. I noticed you shot it with the 80mm AF. If this is the newer Mamiya lens can you comment on how you like it?

I am about to take delivery on one and wondered about the quality and sharpness.

Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed,

Thanks. I have an older 80mm AF lens. Still, it is very sharp, though I find 55 mm even sharper at the edges. Good luck with your lens.

Regards,
