The first one ... a masterpiece!

The second one ... I need more time to discover, maybe the dynamic range of the LCD is too less to view is good?

Thanks.

Kaden,
That first is absolutely great!
Second is so dark, I am not sure what to make of it, yet.

I like them, but I'd like the first more without the slightly angles black stripes at the top and bottom.

Kaden,

Fantastic images, and the first would be Mummy?

Bob

Thanks for the comments folks. Yes Bob.

I'm afraid mummy's let herself go....

...yeah some tear and wear.

Hmm, the Bates Motel?

I just came from SF MOMA and saw the amazing exhibit of Robert Frank's
"The Americans". Powerful!!! included were also images of his trip to Peru
and of 1950's in England. On another floor they had an exhibit of Ansel
Adams images and of Georgia O'keefe paintings. I was surprised how
amazing and darker than expected many of the images of Ansel Adams
were. On the other hand, I did not care at all for Georgia's paintings.

I saw the same exhibit Kaden... really inspiring stuff. I especially loved Frank's shot of his family in the car on that long road at sunset... awesome. I even bought one of the Ansel Adams/Georgia O'Keefe books as well so that I could see the similarities in more detail.

And now you know why I now and then am not moved by works of photographers who may be critically acclaimed.

I was also soooo intrigued by the contact sheets. I guess any photographer would be interested to see the editing process of a master like Robert Frank, but I was also interested in his bracketing process. You could see from the contact sheets how he bracketed for composition and exposure... Was really cool to see. I often think I'm being a bit exploitative of the digital medium when I will take 3-4 shots of the same thing with slightly different compositions or DOF... It was somewhat redeeming to see that Robert Frank does the same thing.

Talking about this has me thinking I should go back again next week... I wonder if MOMA has a frequent viewer program!

Yeah, just get a membership. Its about $55.00 for one person and you can get
2 tickets anytime to get in and discounts on purchases at the bookstore.

Auntipode, although I can appreciate likes and dislikes (my own included) O'keefe
paintings are very specialized (flowers) with a pervasive western flavor and intense
colors. Mine isn't a dislike at large or due to acclaim or lack thereof. Irrespective
the value of art is not dependent on me liking it or feeling personally compelled by
it, thank God...

Exactly my point. If you'll recall our previous discussion about a certain famous photographer who had some images that left me cold.

I see.
