7/17 - Haagen-Daas, My Hero
by Rebecca

Comment:
The beautiful blue of the carton really stands out, and appropriately the background material reminds me of a picnic blanket. Good use of DOF.

I don't have a lactose problem, but I am trying to eat fewer calories. The other night I ate a Haagen Dazs milk chocolate and almond ice cream bar. Then I read the package. I couldn't believe how much fat and calories one little bar contains.

7/15 - Family Business

Cotton patches, eh? I thought these were either Stridex pads or waffles! Not that it hurts the photo, but I can't get a sense of size on these. I like the varying shades of gray and the deep black of the background.

day 16 - wash basin

Very good exposure, and the subtle sepia is fitting. Strong composition, too.

day 17 - looking for inspiration

Comment:
There's something about the bulb that is appealing, and the prism reflections are cool. Funny how the bulb's edge looks blurred but the printing on the bulb is clear.

Day 15 - Road Less Traveled

Wow, this looks beautiful. Must be hot in the summer -- I hope you carry emergency water in the car. :-)

Really nice variety of earth and sky colors.

Falling

Cool shot, Jon. You caught a lot of open sky around the falling man. I gave this a 7, it would have been higher but for the heavy noise in the sky. I hope you don't mind, but as an experiment I copied your photo, selected the man using the wand, inverted the selection, and ran a high denoise function (I have Paint Shop Pro 9). It seemed to work well.
EDIT: posting at your suggestion:

Most people here don't know about parkour (le parcours) except for as seen in a couple of car commercials. I wasn't aware of it until I saw the movie Banlieu 13. It would be cool to see a live exhibition.

Day 16

I've got the final book on pre-order (something I've never done before), but I didn't want to pay for expedited shipping, so it won't arrive until about a week after the official start date.

You managed to keep the light from reflecting off of the book cover, which is good! :-)

Hey, Ken, thanks for sharing this wider version. I especially like seeing more of the funnel cake truck. That's such a cool lens.

I'll be travelling through your part of the country towards the end of next month, and I hope to photograph some good midwestern Americana of my own while on the trip. I'd love to go to the Indiana or Illinois State fair, but unfortunately they'll be over by the time I pass through.

Cheers,

Day 17

Actually I think this is a very interesting image. It really gets my mind going, wondering what is happening. These are clearly women's shoes, and the b&w adds a touch of elegance, but there is something so awkward about the legs (it makes sense now that I know it's a child). The softness is nice, too.

Sorry to hear about your back. Last summer I developed a herniated disk, so I know how back pain can limit movement. My back has improved tremendously, I hope your's does, too.

This is a pretty and dreamy photo, the b&w is an excellent choice. Definitely speaks of another era.
