These are beautiful B&W photographs, nicely seen and deftly executed.

For me, this essay is very strong because what it showcases is the difference between what the camera sees and what we see. It explores one of the things that makes cameras (and photographs) enchanting: that cameras and photographs can do far more than documenting reality – they can transform reality.

Sometimes the transformation is extravagant, with long exposures and similar tricks. But sometimes it's subtle as in this essay, where there are no tricks involved. Just a thoughtful and curious photographer–artist understanding and commanding her medium.

Thank you.

I seconds that. This also looks like a wedding that I just might not have loathed attending. I reckon that later one might spot Cleaver Green weaving among the guests, holding an opened bottle of bubbles and chatting up the bridesmaids.

My favourite moment was the "Love is the smoke ..."

If I were a bride I'd definitely ask you to do the pictures. Maybe the cake as well. And of course the seating plan. And I'd throw you my garter.

I'm making it hard to figure out what to say, I know. Making it hard to decide what this essay is about. Is there maybe some subtle profundity that you're overlooking?

Nope.

It's not really about anything at all. It's just a shallow dip into a bucket full of random photographs. To celebrate what photographs are when both photography and subjective coherence are excluded.

I always enjoy your deft monochromes. And again I do here. The feeling I got from this essay was of a place displaced. I felt sad but I'm not at all sure if the sadness was for the people of Pingtung, or for me. The essence of this feeling, and of this essay, is all in the cover photo:


Thank you.

Wonderful! Impromptu theatre, hidden in plain sight. If I had a drum kit I'd award you a rim shot for every photograph. But I don't, so it's just thank you.

It's OK. Had I voted I'd have given it a 10, but that's only 5 per tusk. Still, two 5s is a nice pair. Thank you.

All the parts are great but the best part of all is the stain.

I would read this book. You can judge a book by its cover.

ETA: Thank you.

O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion
And buy men's voices to commend our deeds:
It shall be said his judgment rul'd our hands;
Our youths and wildness shall no whit appear,
But all be buried in his gravity.

- Billy S.
Julius Caesar, Act 2 Scene 1
