btw, I found this deeply unsettling. In my mind, this is about Hiroshima *and* the Japanese internment camps.

beautiful working essay twists into a ghost story. what's not to like about this?

I enjoyed the cumulative effect of the bamboo texture in photo after photo.

btw, the notes about equipment and gearheads brings up a point I've been thinking about. Why doesn't this apply to music? I saw a youtube video of someone playing clarinet, and barely able to hit the notes, certainly not to the right rhythm. It didn't strike me as "ambiguous" or "interesting," only painful to listen to.

for some people on DPC, looking at a photograph must be equivalent to me listening to music...

Ambiguity

very smart of you to show pieces of the main photo. First, you create a visual metaphor of ambiguity, how one photo contains many. Second, each piece becomes its own image, and you show how framing (cropping) creates ambiguity by what it leaves out.

this essay was short but very sweet.

This is an outstanding shot, right down to the texture of the ground. I can't give ribbons, but this is a 10 from me.

I love this shot. They look like Marionettes dangling. Not sure I will vote.

Yes, I voted. I can't give ribbons, but this is a 10.
