Re: Z Cell Batteries Again

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...

Re: Boreen Point, Shed Door

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 ...

Re: Old Iron, Rust, and Rivets

Maris, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that "Old Iron,Rust, and Rivets" resonates profoundly with me. As a motif, yes, but also the tonality and geometry. For me, this an extract that requires no context — strong, bold, and linear with just a nod to the undulations in the plane. Wha...

Re: A Couple Of Model Shots

Thanks for the giggle Maris, With the commercial insistance on the expedience of digital I lived with a shoulder buckling under the burden of a bag full of tilt/shifts and would recite 2 of my mantras to anybody with ears to hear, "a tilt/shift does not a view camera make", and "Fine ...

Re: A gully to the Brindabellas

yes it's the GD3WH, a lot less compact than your lefoto (and the arca Swiss cube, which I'd have loved! Thanks for the helpful advice, John. Much appreciated. But just to clarify, I have the Leofoto G2, which is quite small. Also incredibly good. But the camera I am waiting on has a round rail so I...

A Couple Of Model Shots

It was back in about 1987. The architect client had insisted that I take out extra Insurance cover for them to bring this detailed model of the proposed development of a project known as 400 George Street to the studio. It was, in fact, a project that started at number 400 George Street and in fact ...

Re: A gully to the Brindabellas

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...

Re: Ferns after Fire

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...

Re: Plan View Of Landscaped Courtyard

Fast forward to after the Berlin wall came down and another trip to Germany I found that she was inundated with work for the rebuilding of many places in and around Berlin. Fabulous yarn Mick, I have an ex-pat Pommy mate living in Berlin for years (former assistant to Bailey donkey's years ago and ...
