My copy of the PDML Annual showed up today. No time to sit down with it, just a 
quick skim so far, but it's very nicely done. Thanks Mark! and everyone who 
contributed. Things like this are an inspiration. :-)

I'm PISSED because Bruce Nagel and Larry Colen both called up the ghost of
M C Escher to produce images that just hypnotize me.

I'm PISSED because I took hundreds of images of beautiful orchids in Maui,
and Jan van Wijk came up with an orchid image that brings the flowers alive
to an extent I find frightening.

I'm PISSED because I am always looking for something interesting to
photograph, while Dag Thrane and Toralf Lund took images of nothing and
created compelling works of art.

Thanks.

People seem to assume that a shot of theirs that doesn't get into the
book has been judged inferior in some way. That's often not the case
at all. A photograph has to "work" in the context of a whole lot of
other images from photographers with wildly varying styles - a very
tricky thing to attempt. Few such pairings are so serendipitous, but
we really put a lot of effort into making the book a cohesive work, at
least as far as such a thing is possible. Sometimes a great part is
left out to help achieve a better sum.

placing them side by side.

I'M PISSED because Steven Sharpe and Brian Walters took junk -- literally
-- and turned it into items of interest and beauty.

I'm PISSED because I'm bugged by my lack of patience, while Jan van Wijk
and Jostein Oksne have the skill, artistry and patience to turn bugs into
things so fascinating and compelling.

Mostly, though, I'm PISSED that I have run out of time, energy and words to
describe all the great photographs in the best annual ever!

Re: PDML Photo Annual 2018 - Stunning

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Part 3A

I'm PISSED because Bruce Nagel and Larry Colen both called up the ghost of
M C Escher to produce images that just hypnotize me.

I'm PISSED because I took hundreds of images of beautiful orchids in Maui,
and Jan van Wijk came up with an orchid image that brings the flowers alive
to an extent I find frightening.

I'm PISSED because I am always looking for something interesting to
photograph, while Dag Thrane and Toralf Lund took images of nothing and
created compelling works of art.

Part 1 of my comments on the annual.


Well, I finally got my copy of the 2018 Annual, and I'm PISSED!

I'm PISSED because UPS had the book Saturday when they said they tried to
deliver it by found my office closed.  They had it Sat but did not deliver
it yesterday, or this morning or this afternoon until 4:30.

I'm PISSED because I have been taking and collecting images of diners for
20 years, and Mark came up with such stunning diner images for the book
that now I have to go out and start all over again.

I'm PISSED because my image of the North Rose Window of Notre Dame was
supposed to be the first image in the book, but somehow, Larry Colen hacked
into the Blurb computer and slipped his gorgeous flame abstract in ahead of
mine.

I have my Pentax MX and a 24-35mm lens, but the cost of one roll of film to 
buy, develop, scan and contact-print is £30-. To get 3 photos worth submitting 
would take at least ten rolls. Then I'd need to resuscitate a filing system for 
negs and contacts (all my old ones are in the loft). So I'm not going back to 
film.

For the cost of that perhaps I could buy an adapter to put the lens on my Leica 
M typ 262, but it wouldn't bring up the frames lines, or work the rangefinder 
mechanism, so framing would require an accessory viewfinder (which in fact I 
have for 28mm and 35mm) and I'd have to use scale focussing, so a bit 
haphazard. Then there's the question of whether a Pentax film-era lens and a

PDML Photo Annual 2018 - Stunning

[Steve Cottrell]

I spent a good hour going through the Annual this afternoon and it is a 
stunning range of work by some very talented photographers. Lovely design by 
Mark, it has to be said. Can't believe it's 10 years since the first.

But the star of the show are the photographs and there is not one dud amongst 
them - and nor would I expect them to be. The standard is very high indeed. 
There's always one or two that pop out at you on first glance, but actually, 
when taking the time to go through and look carefully, the detail is in the 
looking. Absolutely superb.

Made me want to gor through and do a page by page critique (as I once did - 
what year was that??) but I just don't have time - we are moving house and 
there is so much to do.

Incidentally if anyone knows someone looking for a cute little English cottage 
on the edge of the Cotswolds, here is the link:



I need to go through the Annual again with a bottle of wine and really look at 
the pictures properly.

Stunned. And also a little sad that some of our best snappers aren't in due to 
lack of Pentax gear. Maybe worth pressing an old Pentax lens into service on 
those Leicas and Fujis eh? If Chris Mitchell can figure it out. ;-)

Well done all, you should be proud.

And you Adam Montoya, that image of the hand is outstanding.
