Day8: odd

Comment by Germaine:
Good mood and use of textures. I like how the face is sort of floating in the darkness.

Lincoln cathedral (Week 1)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
Again you send me back to my growing up days in England and my views of churches. The symbolism of the arches and the age-old stone which is enhanced by this gritty black and white rendition comes over in a very stark graphic way. You remind me to use these techniques.

Fields (Week 2)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
You suggest to me an allusion to the past. Looking backwards in time. To a pr airy. To each viewer whatever that viewer is reminded of. I grew up in the outback of Australia and this bear resemblance to some of my young dreamtime. Less is often much more and in this case, the viewer can allow their mind to wander, remember, and recreate. I am learning. It is the hints, subtleties, the senses which an artist plays with. As done herein.

Prayer (Week 3)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
You teach me that it is often the spontaneous action which yields the sensual image, rather than the carefully contrived. Your image is sincere and that makes up many times over for its failings in composition and quality. In fact those human failings simply add to this image. I learn.

Gates (Week 4)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
Blocking the view partially by looking through a keyhole, through a gate, or through a hole cut out in cardboard are all ways of directing the viewer's gaze, so you teach me. It is a tool worth understanding more about.

Up stairs (Week 5)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
Looking upwards and from dark to light has a certain symbolism, you remind me. Finding those locations that are imbued with mood, such as this one, is a worthy pursuit. I will have to get out and about more.

Dennis (Week 6)
by booboo_goon

Comment by pineapple:
You teach me that muddling together light and dark shapes can confuse the eye and mind into looking without seeing the obvious. In this case, I have to check myself and ask, is it the white or the black he wants me to look at - what are the shapes. It is like a visual puzzle.

Bricks (Week 7)

I like the tones a lot and the coldness and the thought of whats behind the wall.
