Those overhead lines thrill me!

It's easy (for me anyway) to dismiss cat shots without giving them a fair go. But this is far too good to dismiss out of hand. A beautifully executed photograph. Thank you.

Brocklebank - Liverpool

Comment:
Didn't King Kenny just pay ten million pounds for a midfielder called Brocklebank? Or am I thinking of two different blokes entirely.

He might be wanting a new striker soon!

Sharp is a ... (you know the rest).

It's a lovely picture and with the basket appearing in shot I can't not think of Manna, of loaves & fishes. And considering where you took this shot, it really is, isn't it? Cám on.

These are pretty good, considering you were handicapped with a digital camera :)

OK, seriously. They are pretty good, you know. I know this is a new venture for you, but I also know that you are not unaware of the touchstones of classic street photography. And both these pictures (the other is here) have the right stuff. This one with the titular reference, and the other with the little girl. I have no doubt that your experiment in the street genre will be a great success because you have the two essentials for street success ... a discriminating eye, and a sense of humour. I'll be looking forward very much to seeing more.

Oh, and P.S...
Gallery shots are indeed a recognised sub-set of street, but now you have to go outside & get wet & cold. And abused. It's in the rules, I'm afraid.

Just pure, beautiful light, made more special by the point of view relative to the people in it, and then even more than that by the inclusion of the slightly out-of-focus man at left ... he stands in (literally) for the photographer, and also for the person who views the photograph. It's an immensely clever & classy picture. Thank you. 9.

Tuol Sleng - S21

Beautiful picture of an appalling place. Sometimes, when it's become too late to change terrible events, a picture is all you can say. Words become clichés, too easily passed over or stepped around, while pictures burrow into our conscience and find a place there. Maybe that way they will stop it being too late another time. But even if they don't, they at least place a small marker in our history on behalf of the ones that can't do it for themselves. Thank you. 9.

That's quite beautiful! A sort of slow delight that becomes increasingly coherent and rewarding the longer one looks at it. And I looked for quite a while. It's a loving photograph; nothing professionally dispassionate about this one. Thank you. 9.

I know it's you Nx, so it's hard to be objective. If I didn't know, I'd shower you with praise and many 10s. As it is, thank you. Thou rock.
