[GeneW]

Here are some shots that grabbed my eye this week -- and certainly not the only ones! In no particular order:

Or like these ones from Matu on his excellent Leitz series, they seem to be loaded with memories !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6968/sort/1/cat/last14/page/5

The 'unusual' smile from Designer just makes me go back again and again !
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6829/sort/1/cat/last14/page/5

I'm hoping this is a regularly occurring thread. I'm collecting for this week already.

I agree with the poster, a masterpiece, and the title is perfect, Salad Bar. Way to go, Gene.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6834/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

And of course this one, Cold and Hot from Graksi. What hasn't been said?
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6867/sort/1/size/medium/cat/fav/page/2

This one, Cone of Tragedy, from Skorj blew me away as well
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6837/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

One more, Boat, from Gene. So beautifully lonely and, at the same time, resigningly futile.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6811/sort/1/size/medium/cat/fav/page/2

Sometimes you can't explain the attraction of an image. I guess I'm a sucker for structural photography. This one, Bright Concrete, from Swann is strangely magnetic:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6872/sort/1/cat/fav/page/2

This series is very nice. The red motif stitched it all together. Other images from the series have already been noted, so here is a different one from Jochan, A Traditional Grocery Shop Front:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/6990/sort/1/size/medium/cat/500/page/1

I feel bad because I jumped into this thread late and unprepared, so I know I'm missing other images that I didn't save as favorites, or comment on. But I wanted to post in the hope of showing my encouragement for this thread. I'm being diligent this week.

 

[GeneW]

Ray, thanks for joining in! This weekly thread idea originated with Rich who, alas, is no longer an active member. I revivified it for the New Year. The more who play, the better! (and thanks kindly for including me in your picks this week)

Gene,
I have a hard time finding this thread, or coming back to it. Where will it reside, under which forum? Frankly, I think it should have its own forum. I really enjoy looking at photos and commenting on them, so thank you for putting up some great images.
