Good to see that you’re posting again. Just because you’ve got a new kid, isn’t an excuse

High praise indeed! Thanks and have a drink for me as I try to get my act together in the other parts of my life that I’ve been deficient in.

Not fair! Why do ALL your photos look so great and all my photos so shallow and plain and pointless? Not fair! There’s no justice in this world!
I’ll go and get drunk now…

It is funny how we are doing so many of the same things considering that we’ve never met.

Thanks. You’re right, it is a case of “horses for courses”. As I get older, I’m finding that the most useful tool in my bag of tricks is a more philosophical outlook in thinking about what I’m trying to say with photography rather than the actual equipment.

Glad to see you back again. It’s been a while.

I can see what you mean about the shot looking like it’s a child’s view but I wanted a shot that was more about the tension of being alone in a tunnel with a stranger coming towards you.

Head down, no eye contact, keep moving.

Think of it as “What the world looks like to a seven year old”.

I like the angle too. Makes me feel like I might be running toward her.

This is a really interesting shot… the combination of the backlighting, the wide view, and the tilt almost gives me vertigo. The flatness of a telephoto shot and the incredible depth obtainable with a wide angle both have their uses, and I like both. This one works especially well by includig the full surround of the tunnel, above and below what a normal lens would have taken in.

I do this all the time when I’m in Boston with my wide angle lens! I can attest to the amount of failed images that it produces, though. That’s why I can really, really appreciate this one! Although, I’ve been doing it to include more of what is below the usual frame! Aren’t we the oddest of duckies! Anyway, Inspires me to look back at some I’ve taken and post one.
