Shanghai InternationalI'm off to the UK tomorrow on business with the hope that I'll get some time to make some images as well. This is a particularly hard week for doing that but I'm going to try and bring some images home. This will be an exercise in pushing through the uncomfortable feelings of pointing a camera at other human beings and I'm psyching myself up for it now as I write.
I added a new gallery today of images that are graphical in nature. I tend to see these things everyday and see if I can make a decent image. More often than not what I get is not what I wanted, but there are those occasions when I think I might actually know what I'm doing.
I've been looking for themes throughout my work from the last couple of years. I've been really concentrating on getting out with the camera and have a growing number of images to choose from. Most of them are B&W, taken with the Leica and from my travels. But there are some in color and I'll get some of those up once the G5 returns and I get back from the UK. But what I've found while perusing through the negatives is that all of the stuff I really like has been taken with the Leica. I'm not sure why that is but it's very obvious as I look at the work. I've got a feeling this is what will dominate the new galleries as I post them.
The images look a little jpeg challenged to me. I think I might have been a bit too aggressive in the compression. Let me know what you think and as always any comments are welcome.
