Do You See It?

Amazing! Grand shot that I think Deb would be proud of owning.
HOW did you ever get up there? (Er, who do you know with a light plane...)
Anyhow, as I said, grand shot, and very SoCal-ish.

remarkable isolation. if I didn't absolutely know it was minimal editing, I would have suggested that you isolated that critter.

The Wall

The Juried Awards, 2016


The Wall

High key, black and white photography was invented for images like The Wall.
The solitary figure, the mottled and warn path, the forbidding walls, half dark, half light all combine to make this a compelling image.
Not only is The Wall compositionally excellent, with its leading lines, perfect balance and fascinating textures, it holds the possibility of much story-telling within its borders.
As we note those worn tiles and uneven edges along the pathway, we wonder: Is it a derelict building? Then, what could possibly be contained in those anonymous doors/openings in that long corridor. Why is there just one figure and where is his journey taking him? Is he the last or the first? And finally, where is the light coming from? It appears to be natural light, but from where?
The treatment of this image in black and white adds to the starkness and mystery of The Wall.
Excellent seeing on the part of the photographer. One wonders where he found this scene and how this photograph came into being.

So glad this was yours, MAK!
