The First Hot Day

Never mind the quality, feel the width! It's an unmistakably Aussie scene, Mom's hat is the clincher. I'm not used to seeing beach scenes as squares, but this shows how little I know. Thank you.

So many small things you see and celebrate with your camera. I'd like to call you The God of Small Things, but Arundhati Roy had already taken the expression for her first novel. Her second was The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, which also could neatly reference your photographic sight. Are you sure you're not secretly she?
Thank you.

I shoot so much black & white that I hardly ever look at or think about colour photographs. But this one arrested me because it looks so much like colour film. Those are Kodachrome colours. I love it. I was younger and more optimistic then, and it feels good to feel that feeling again. Thank you.

Making the simple complex, and reducing the complex to simplicity. You're still Az. It's a positive image. I mean the energy it depicts is all positive. Thank you.

Very impressive photograph. I've never tried but I imagine it must be quite difficult to get the exposure right (which you clearly have) in a scene like this? I went to a school, and to a military college, with similar though not-quite-so-grand settings. Imposing austerity is a British tradition. It instils a sense of...something or other... that's probably both important and irrelevant. Anyway, a nice photograph that you don't at first notice is square. Thank you.

May I be the first to say Play Misty for Me? Groan, that was awful, sorry. I admire the way that Misty can express such anticipation in every fibre, even seen from the back. That's a helluva range, method-acting-wise. This picture says so many nice things about the photographer. What you care about. Thank you.

et sic incipit

What does? Does this mean those are new crocs? They look real incipit, man. And that's your knee, is it? Lots of bold geometry, lovely tones, hint of latin, a flash of implied leg. It's only an elephant short of orgasmic, for me. Thank you. Mind if I smoke?

He paints flowers on the floor with his mop. He's dreaming, and winning the dream. Tones and grain: you're dreaming too. Thank you.

I thought it was Stephen King in the thumbnail. It probably still is. This Ecce thing was always a bit suspect, Steve. Love your stories, by the way. Hearts in Atlantis is my favourite.

I also love fooling about with pinhole cameras. This is mine, shoots on 120 film.

According to the guy who made it for me, it's f177.

I like your picture, especially for the studied negligence that necessarily attends pinhole, and for the tones that don't but are very nice. Thank you.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to unravel this. It's all shot through glass, right? With a reflection on part of the glass? I'm pretty sure it's that simple, but the effect is of a visionary all right. It made me think of 1984, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because he looks like Winston Smith. Anyway, you made a convincing effect, the analogue way. Bravo! And thank you.
