Hi all,
Recently I've been interested in more impressionistic compositions and processing. I have a soft-touch elective (Community Development) and one of the assignments is a creative, open-ended approach to mapping my community. I've chosen to focus on elements of the neighbourhood where I live, an inner-city Calgary community which is being gentrified by younger urban professionals. I've chosen, of course, to do a photo essay. I'd like your input on the style of these photos, if you could. I realise some of them are a bit dark...I'm working that out. My LCD is bright. Anything is appreciated.

To be honest, I don't get any sense of "community" out of these images, largely because there are no human beings in the shots. I am also really out off by the fact that they're all rotated to the same extreme counter-clockwise degree, for no particular purpose that i can discern.
Making allowance for the monitor difference you have described, they do look like they are nice, full-tonal-range images in B/W, however.
Robt.

| These are merely a sample. It's not about getting a sense of community, the context isn't really important and is really a bunch of urban planning geekspeak issues that I won't get into. I'm interested in elements of the photo being more imporant than anything 'normal' in a composition, like a level horizon. The fact that these are rotated in the same manner is a mere result of initial experimentation. |
