Yeah I see that now, I think I need to get my eyes checked.... glad to hear Mum and pups are all doing well!
I found the pot of gold. Its in niagara falls, I promise, its there. A leprechaun told me it was there. Go see it for yourself. I'm not high, or drunk. lol.
Fallsview casino, from behind. Both photos taken with the iPhone.
. Damned if I know what makes it good, though. In colour, it was unspeakably bland.
It's good because it's a true slice of life...most of the stuff here lacks the human element, which is tough to accomplish unless you have the cojones to stick a camera in someone's face....

OK, I'll buy that. It's especially rare for me to photograph humans. I rarely want to 'get in their face,' so to speak. Definitely a cojones issue on my part. When I do shoot people, it's often surreptitiously.
Thanks, guys. Damned if I know what makes it good, though. In colour, it was unspeakably bland.
That shot was made for B&W. Colour wouldn't have added anything to the story. The strong composition focuses your attention entirely on the subject. His posture and the lighting creates ambiguity which adds to the overall effect (hard to tell he's reading). I'm left wondering what has happened to this man.
Really nice job.

Some shoot portraits, some landscapes, some both. They all can be varying degrees of beautiful or shite.
I'm not sure it's about cajones, more interest. Some people don't find people interesting.
Potato, potato as that famous sketch goes...
