just a ghost and not a reflection..... : (

lynne, you are correct, as usual.

~actual quote by motts~
"Thank you for the critical comments, I always take them into consideration and look forward to reading any well founded opinion."

but there is a difference between polite/constructive criticism and using criticism as a means to insult and taunt (with what borders on senseless babble, i might add) people and ideas one might be unwilling to, of incapable of, understanding. those with such a low empathy rating, imo, are mildly amusing, at best, but then again, perhaps these pictures hit kevin a little too close to home and this is the only way he knows how to lash out. you never know....

bravo, motts, bravo!!!

i almost wish i had caught the "genius's" post before you did. thanks for saving me the trouble.

kevin, can you understand the implicit significance that lies beyond the simple photograph of the wall now? barbara explained it beautifully and anna has a point. or is it still too "the part of the stage in front of the curtain'" (noun) for you? whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

doesn't it, though? :)

no, i believe the proper terminology for this is "thingamajig".

:-p

;-)

seriously LMAO, lynne!!!!!!!!!!!!

i shoulda known!!!

damn, that was PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

XD

LMAO, i was wondering the same thing!!!

why, thank YOU, motts! some of your photos tell a story, some of them, like this one, express beauty. ALL of them are thought provoking and deeply introspective. never mind the "rules", whenever a photograph moves people with such emotion, you may be sure that you have accomplished your ambition, and very successfully, at that! it is that aspect of your work which holds significance. it is captivating an audience. and that is what good photography is all about. and, yes, i notice the imagination and creativity behind your use of infrared and kodalith, among other things, to enhance some of your photos, indeed, the mark of a true artist, as even ansel burned parts of his photos while developing them to enhance their natural beauty. it is what separates simple snapshots from photographic masterpieces.

overall, motts, i am most impressed with your work!

powerful image, especially with the empty medicine bottle lying within it's midst. the stories one conjures with this picture! fantastic shot, motts!!!

either this shot totally looks like a goaltender, or missing a full nhl season has finally taken it's toll on my sanity.... (hockey's back! HOORAY!!!)

nothing worse than a drunk keyboard, eh, barbara? ;)

leave it to good OLE' lynne! :)

oh yes, and a beautiful panorama at that! i was making reference to the horizon line cutting the photograph in half, iow, running through the horizontal center of the picture. my father was a photographer, and so i was i once, years ago, so i have a very critical opinion regarding photography (actually art in general, esp. music). i was referring to the "rule of thirds". so whenever i praise motts for his beautiful work it is with a "jaundiced eye", so to speak.... my compliments aren't to be taken lightly.....

thank you, my dear twug, for pointing that out, though. i am sure that there are some who might have missed the panoramic view if it weren't for your post.

such a peaceful view of the area, it is indeed VERY picturesque! :)

"majestic" is the word that comes to mind. impressive shot, motts!

the place looks like it's melting.

awesome lighting too!
