    Nice stuff
    Love 2 and 7. Processing on the firemen adds to the photo and sets a good mood. Processing on 7 takes it from an interesting photo to an excellent photo/piece of art. Really like the capture in 1, but the jacket seems a bit blown out across the shoulder/back area.

    Very cool. Keep posting, love your work.thumb.gif

    I asked him if I could take his picture and once he agreed, I started shooting. He quickly grew tired of it. "When you gonna be done?" I laughed and said, "I can't help myself, you're so handsome!" He replied, "No, I'm not handsome! My grandfather was a pirate!" And then he walked off. rolleyes1.gif

    Thank you, every last one of you! I am trying to get out each day and shoot what I see. Sometimes I worry nothing will catch my eye. Life always does ;)

    In 1986, Robert Hayes starred in a short-lived TV series called Starman, based on the movie of the same name. In the show, Hayes played the same alien, who returned to Earth to assist his son, and was inhabiting a body cloned from a photojournalist. As such, he had to take one of the photojournalists jobs, taking photos of homeless people who were living in a cave complex outside a small town.

    His photos turned out to be incredibly poignant and moving. Someone asked him, "How did you shoot such wonderful photos?" He replied honestly, with something that I have always taken as my personal photographic philosophy. He said: "I just shot what I saw."

    Before you can capture an image, you have to SEE what's there. Everything else is just details.

    Great series here. #2, 3, 4, & 8 stand out for me.
