Hi Bob, > The lamp post/river bank series of photos are interesting. Have you tried > any with the lamp post out of focus and the people in focus...just for > variety.
Actually, that's the way I initially took the first picture, back in '98 (the one with the painter) After taking one shot, I decided that focusing on the lam would show just enough of the guy to see what he's doing (roughly), while creating a kind of unconfortable balance (the focus on an uninteresting object). In later visits to Paris I kept taking those kinds of pictures, to make it a series. I'm not totally crazy about it though, it's probably not going to make it to the show. I think the series itself is kind of uneven. > All in all, I'd say you have some difficult choices to make to bring this > into a single, coherent portfolio.

I also have to work on the order of pictures within each group (esp. the first one) to improve the flow from pic to pic. Thanks for your comments, and for looking. This is really helping me get through with this first portfolio... j -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
