He was there, just out of the picture, on the shot around noon, and he was still there, leaning on another side of the building, three hours later when I finished my walkabout and made this picture just before driving home.<br /><br />As an aside, I find that "across the street" shots just about never work, and have to remind myself not to do them. But, this time, it worked.Carl Weesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291898089206705608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-86934039924384922232011-04-10T16:19:11.626-04:002011-04-10T16:19:11.626-04:00The second photo with the guy waiting is much more...The second photo with the guy waiting is much more "meaningful" to me than the first one. It's about my theory of "context" perhaps: I see most of the things in relation to other things. And the white Elvis and white Marilyn (in every aspect of "white") are intensified by the waiting man. Does this make sense? ;-)<br /><br /><br />Regarding the size of photographs in blogs: it's a problem to me, too. Many photos don't get posted because they look horrible in the small format (mostly the ones with much information, i.e. bits). With the other ones I trust my visitors to click on them. But this has a second side, a positive one, perhaps: I look at many photography blogs and can browse relatively fast and only click on the ones that arouse my interest. Nothing more unnerving than a blog where the photographs take ages to load, building up line by line.<br />But who knows what I am missing with this kind of approach?Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.com
