Don't ever beat yourself up about your images Joe. Your work is nice.

nice is a good thing?

A great series, Joe ! This one I like best because her uneasy look and what is written on the card-board she holds fits very well.

thanks gabor!
the look on her face is what the image is really all about.

I tend to like your images taken with the RD-1. I can't tell you why, but I seem to enjoy them more.

+1

I think the RD-1 is the camera for you Joe.

Very nice shots by the way.

Yes, it's a good thing.

A very nice capture---a blank, brainless stare.

Joe, try to put your subjects off-center more.
The little girl drawing on the cardboard is my favorite from this set.

Great stuff, Joe!!! Vundah bah! I missed what camera these were shot with. The X100 or the RD1? Nice either way, regardless. Wow - they're kvetching about the financial services industry up in Canada? I know it's going global but didn't think Canada had too much to complain about. Their banks weren't as immersed in the recent shenanigans as I recall. Great stuff though.

Unfortunately, our tiny town in SE Washington state has been "occupied" too. Great images Joe!

Finally!!!! a series of "occupy" images that aren't exclusively made of people holding signs. Seriously, photographs of writing mean very little to me and if I didn't speak english, they'd mean even less...but it's all I ever see whenever someone photographs an occupy event...if I wanted to read something, i'd go into an occupy [insert city name here] IRC channel.
so...summary of rant...kudos on images not relying on the gimmick of words.
and so it isn't misinterpreted somehow...i genuinely appreciate these images.

I really like these b&w pictures. You couldn't do better with film!

i love the rd1 and how it renders.

joe, place your subjects in the center as much as you want.

this centre thing is interesting...between the way i shoot and then crop the edges, it seems like i do have many centered subjects...it might not be arty but the eye goes to the subject easily.
