These pictures are couple shots of my friend Emma and her boyfriend Rob. I was going for a kind of natural feel where they looked unaware that the camera was there (I had the idea of the "Mad About You" opening playing in my head) While in the end they did come out more 'posed' then I was going for I do like them an awful lot.
Comments and critique welcome

Here's a story

1. Emma and Rob meet in the library one day (as you can tell, Rob was getting desperate...)

2. Emboldened by his reading selection Rob swept Emma off her feet

3. Only for Emma to insist on finishing her book before they went out on a date

4. After securing Emma in a headlock (not a method advocated by the "For Dummies" series mind you...) Rob was able to get Emma out of the library

5. However, Emma insisted on a certain method of transportation...

6. On making it to the park for a picnic date Rob declared his love for Emma...

7. And they both rejoiced (!)

8. And more than likely, according to Rob's book, they would live happily ever after...THE END

    rolleyes1.gif That first photo cracks me up!!! rolleyes1.gif Nice series and I really like the story theme. A couple of them appeared a little too dark in the shadows (not the intentional silhouette but like image 4 or 5... can't remeber which). This was a really neat shoot.

    The first shot is fantastic. They do look set up to a certain degree, but I don't think that is necessarily bad. B/W does the pictures justice.

    Great work.

    Thanks for the comments.
    I'll have to look at these photos on a different screen. I'm using a laptop now that I'm away and living on my own and I think I might not be looking at it on the right angle-LCD aren't always that great for picture work :P.
    However, I also was trying different techniques on converting to black and white- so that might be a problem too...
    Thanks for giving me something to think about in between all my school work- a welcome relief photos have been. Hope to post again soon.
    Cheers,
    a.
