Hmmm. Like the shot but my many thousands of old film never looked like this even on a bad day. Looks like it was dropped in a dpc overlay whirlpool.

Is there an owl up there? Processing sort of overtakes your picture a bit here.

Loved this Henry. I particularly like how I am drawn into each scene by your technical prowess, the high contrast, sharp detail and the unassuming simplicity of your complex compositions. I am compelled to acknowledge and reconstruct scenes and stories upon multiple viewings, which drives me to discover more and more, it really does make one savour every discoverable morsel. I especially admire numbers 12 & 14. Thank you for a wonderful gift.

It's bits of life under cover. It's all the awnings, tarps, jackets, dirt and darkness brought together in the sort of symphony of shape and mystery...it's so good. It is more quiet than your previous essay but I don't get lonely...alone-ness yes, but this comes from someone who loves being alone probably more often than most people. There is a comfort in darkness. It goes with the quiet. The shadows make me curious. The shadows make me wonder. Many of these images appeal to me on a abstract level also, these great collections of shape and form, light and shadow. It's strange, I can almost hear how quiet it is...maybe just the soft rustling of an awning, a hushed voice or a hurried step to punctuate the completeness of it. I also like the back and forth of being inside and outside, under then out in the open.

Sheesh, but she's good. Exactly what I felt, but did not know how to say.

The darkness is so important. Normally something to run from, in your case it gives structure, binds together, with just that ever-present need to want to take two steps closer to see inside it.

What struck me looking at this photo narrative is that the "secrets" you captured are in permanent change. I feel as if you squinted as one does when one wants to see better a scene to remember it better, pushed the button and then you made a graphic representation of it as one makes a chart of an foreign land.
There is always a certain elegance in your photography that is undefinable. I feel that you walk very softly around your subject as to leave no marks and cast no shadows and only after a certain understanding of it you capture it on the camera.
Hope you already embarked on a new theme for next month!

Actually a little bit of both!
