I like the wires. They imply a house. What are they admiring, if not a house? The wires connect us to the other half of the photograph; the half that we can't see.

Yes, it's a wonderful picture, and for me breathes easier without the burden of the texture layer. The relationship between the lamp posts and the man is seriously instructive. Part of the proof of that is to consider all the other ways it could be cropped ... vertical, square right, square central ... everything (including this, your uncropped version, of course) works. That man-and-posts motif is so powerful that nothing can diminish it. Even the texture layer didn't diminish it; it just didn't need it.

It's true, they do. Pictures of laundry are Proof of Life.

I have often thought that a series of travel pictures built around pictures of laundry all over the world would be a terrific photoessay or book project. Seriously. And you would be an ideal choice to do it. Now, if only I were the Photo Editor of National Geographic; you'd be packing your bags, M.

I think the reason your LB shots are so pleasing is that the quality of the underlying photography is so good. This is a lovely photograph (in spite of the texture, which I'm also thinking it doesn't need). I really admire how the man and the pair of lamp posts work together. Take away either one (man, or posts) and the whole thing falls apart. But together they make the music.

What a way you have with combining images and ideas! No wonder you do what you do for a living. I'll bet your students are nuts about you.

Llama? Alpaca? Something Andean, anyway.
Your stuff with the LB has been so deft and beautifully judged. Every image seems to make me look, sit back a little, and sigh, "Oh, yes."

The best part of this is how the progression of windows & doors on her side is echoed by the line of architectural details low on the columns on his side. It makes a strange little unspoken dialogue between the two people. You know, like the Duelling Banjos song from Deliverance.

Yes indeed! First photo I've looked at today, and what a great start it is. It's a beautifully balanced image.
