are the walls white? do they look pink from the light shining through the red curtains? this photo is one of the most interesting things in this gallery. i would love to find out more about the history of this room.
nice shot! i love the "fire exit" painted on the wall showing through the bars. i can't help but imagine a fire breaking out in there and the poor guy looking through the bars at the sign, unable to follow that arrow. just my imagination, of course. ;)
yes, yes, of course, very good.... the canisters of whipped cream! not only is it fun to play in, but, let's face it, we needed something phallic. a perfect choice, ~me!
i suppose race car drivers should all quit their jobs too. not to mention that evil evel knievel! and to think that i admired his amazing feats! it's a wonder i'm alive today, huh?
no, motts is bringing to us something that would otherwise be unaccessable to most of us. i've seen much more dangerous stunts in "g" movies, in primetime tv, and even on commercials. even without the clear disclaimer it all comes down to personal responsibility, something that's grossly overlooked, and sometimes even blatantly ingored, in this day and age. it's up to the individual to either live responsibly or become a potential recipient of the darwin awards.
motts, of course, you are correct! ansel most certainly enhanced his photos, e.g. burning in the sky to give his pictures greater depth and bolder relief. if it weren't for darkroom techniques, his photographs would be nothing more than snapshots. with the advent of digital photography, the classic darkroom manipulation (of which there are MANY ways!) is rendered obsolete, with such camera equipment, anyway. and no one can tell me that things like the "old" way of superimposing are really much different (i.e., better) than modern day photoshop. a lot of things have changed over the years and, imo, for the better. it is the way one is able to utilize the means that makes one a true artist, and not simply the means. or else, the louvre would only have cave paintings in it to this day.
