Well guys, I'm not altogether sure of The purpose of the second shot: was it to record the additions and modifications, or was it to create a visual treat? Given my tendency to go weak at the knees for linearity and minimalism I really like the uncluttered purity of the geometric's in the earlier pi...

Precisely!

What an absolute treasure Maris, And only 50 years in the making. My new camera has arrived and it's the keeper so I'll be out just as soon as the Yuletide dust settles and I hope I'll be gifted a find as wonderful. But it raises a conundrum for me, looking at your work and my own: why does a 300mm ...

It was, in fact, a project that started at number 400 George Street and in fact ...

Wow John, I hope you had parking up top close to your vantage point. It looks quite a climb. Either that or that, like Leni Riefenstahl, you had a troupe of Nubian porters to shoulder that hefty Horseman L and its ancillary paraphernalia. Having made the effort to get there it presents a view full o...

Ha, ha, ha! It just goes to show with these forum posts, Maris: you have to read to the end. I saw this pic and immediately that of the visual dialogue — or was it a debate — between Harry Callahan and his tutor Ansel Adams. Lo and behold, you make mention of the great Harry and make. my day. Thanks...
