I like it.

from last week's downpour, that I guess I actually chose to walk around in for an hour or so:

Quite pleased with how this scanned, have done very little to the curve in Lightroom.

Just plain lovely.

it's going to be a bit of a job because my scanner is slow and poorly located, but i started up with the yearbooks.
most recent is 1990, next up 1988
not really sure what people want to see -- sports group photos? snapshots? trying to just choose representative images from the theme of each yearbook rather than stick to a template.

--> real question ---> does anyone know about the legality of posting these images? i put a disclaimer in the description and xxxx'ed out people's names but beyond that, do i need to be worried?

amazing
the second one is one of the best photos

awesome.

eagerly anticipating more "west coast in black & white"

thanks... top one is miami though!
will prob be back in the bay area for family reasons soon enough.

I thought that was one photo and was just totally baffled for a second.

Hell of eyelashes.

LOVE Sunset Towers!

and pile of cinderblocks too.

ditto, those are awesome!

The cinder blocks photo is kicking my ass.

I dig the poncho/stone wall/tree/chairs etc. nice texture there.

thanks, guys!

i lost a whole TWO ROLLS of black & white that i shot in Chicago, which is really heartbreaking-- no idea where they ended up-- i called lost & found at every place i visited, so tragic.

i went to north korea & it was weird.

sorry man
i wouldn't mind that kind of thing if they ever turned up but the idea that they're just sitting somewhere, so sad.

Some very nice stuff in both of those last two sets, guys. The one of the girl on the stage!

totally-- should be seen BIG

Damn, that is really fantastic. Love how you have the space to give the whole spotlight and the fading off into the shadows at the edges. Really feels like a painting.

yeah where was that? i mean, besides the country of North Korea

^^ so many of this set are killer, partic the kids

wow, really great stuff

thanks! nice ego boost coming from you all. i'm still trying to process what the hell that trip was/what i saw/where the staged-real line was in basically every situation. like, the picture of the girls on the ballet bar was taken in a school we were brought to where every time our guide led us into a room, you'd sense this barely perceptible pause, and then an activity would start en medias res. or at least that's what it felt like. so im a bit conflicted about that one in particular. or like a volleyball game where the kids just cheer for each other too illustratively and which you suspect never really ends...you don't know if these kids are forced to do this in a perpetual loop, reseting for each group of tourists, or if it's a legitimate school, and these are the luckiest kids in the country. i don't know. the whole trip was really weird like that. i don't know.

the pic of the girl on stage was at the beginning of a revue at that same school. the performances that followed were basically the best things i've ever seen. for example, a 10-year-old kid did one of the craziest drum solos i've ever seen, while also dancing and balancing stuff on his head. stuff like that.

amazing! get a nice print of that shot-- you'll thank yourself.

agreed on the print, and thanks for sharing - that's super interesting.

no prob! i've got a lot more here if you're interested. posted a bunch regardless of how good they were as photos, just cuz i figured ppl would be interested.

here's all my recent ones, for those who aren't fbook friends

love those. i noticed sunset towers was a bit different there.

I'm still grinding through my China shots from December - mostly architecture. This Flickr set is the bunch "edited" (could use another pass) for maximum photogenic-ness, as opposed to architectural richness or whatever.

Here's a few kinda plucked from that:

Really stoked 'cause I've been working intermittently on this trip's material since December, and am now within a couple days of being DONE! (and then on to the next project...)

killer photos grady!

you need to travel around america chronicling the social situations of dogs of the nation

Ava, wishing her hair was always like this:

love those. i noticed sunset towers was a bit different there.

ha, busted. not sure which I like better.

i've started straightening some photos out in photoshop, especially ones with an ocean horizon.

that last pic of ava is incredible!, michael

i was admiring one of the askew-horizons in one of your fb pics, grady (some people were submerging another person), go easy

Cute little guy, hanging on a retired rig off Pensacola.

tons of really nice pics in that set, Dr. C. must have been a great trip. Chikan looks pretty cool!

hey, thanks rent! It was a great trip - got very lucky with weather, the student morale level was high, and our Mandarin-speaking guide (an old TA of mine from back in the day) was ridiculously on-the-ball and in control of every situation. So that made it easy to focus on the itinerary and our architectural priorities etc. Definitely a huge eye-opener for me both within my field and just in terms of "hey, there's this country called China, you should probably know something about it."

Finally finished posting my pics yesterday, OOF! Next up: unfinished India film from three years ago. It's so bizarre switching back to scanned negatives after being in digital mode for eight months...just a totally different look and feel, and things seem to need so much less futzing (not counting dust and scratches which I'm inclined to just ignore at this point in order to get semi-caught-up).

a volleyball game where the kids just cheer for each other too illustratively and which you suspect never really ends...

this is fucking wild. great stuff.

ha, yeah. it was weird. thanks!

Sorry if that's too many things at once.

Blogger (schlump): Not normally that keen on pet/animal photos but the two dogs one above is great.
The Painter of Blight™ (Sanpaku): Nice!

hey that's one of gr8080's!, via his link.

those phots are killer anyway michael, the first & fourth particularly for me, they're really perfectly isolated & intriguing

Oops! Thanks for highlighting it then!
