[lynnb]

thanks very much film twit, David, Raid, Shirley, Richard Berter and Steve for mentioning my pictures here!

Pictures I liked this week:

Vanessa 5 © 2014 16mm
16mm has captured some feminine magic in this shot - and it's a wet plate, too.

Untitled - Photo 231611 © 2014 Fiat126p
nothing more beautiful than a sleeping baby, and beautifully captured too on a Rolleiflex

Sailing on Mars... © 2014 Reala_fan
Bruce's IR pictures are always a standout for me

Winner © 2014 Rhl-oregon
words aren't necessary…

Untitled - Photo 231563 © 2014 Michael Markey
nice portrait from Michael's Merrill

Memories of home © 2014 Siracusa
I liked the mood and composition in David's picture; a meaningful title

hui © 2014 Guoshuo
a casual portrait full of warmth. The original is large size where one can better appreciate the grain.

light relief © 2014 Keith
Keith's picture is my favourite of the week

Untitled - Photo 231543 © 2014 Maiku
I liked this whole series; this one most for the birds' spacing, and the two looking back

Museum Girl with Red Hair © 2014 Belle
Belle's shot reminded me of indy Sherman's film stills, and just as attention-grabbing in its use of colour

Harbour Nights 4 © 2014 Brainwood
great mood and Portra colour from Chris

more picks later..

East 9th Street © 2014 Mlehrman
I liked Mike's man-at-work picture for its story, composition, lines and tones

Ava and Logan © 2014 Mrtoml
cute kids steal the show with their expressions, I liked the light and processing too

JaZZ Houston IV © 2014 Photony Texas
great light and framing. Just the essentials.

*** © 2014 Michel.roth
I liked Michael Roth's decisive moment

Untitled - Photo 231425 © 2014 Jockos
…and this intense portrait from Jockos. Nice light!

Untitled - Photo 231422 © 2014 Stefanjozef
Stefan had a good reason to carry a camera this day!

Sommar 2 © 2014 Mudride
Johan continues to delight us with wonderful pictures of his young daughter

Copenhagen (M9) © 2014 Raid
Dana glows in the light and colour of this picture, which gives it an almost religious iconography

Untitled - Photo 231387 © 2014 Lxmike
I liked this human interest story in Lxmike's series on a neurosurgery unit

Pool,'14 © 2014 Tigerphil
I liked this equally as much as Phil's other pinhole shot mentioned by others earlier in this thread

Blossoming © 2014 Doug
The title on Doug's delightful picture says it perfectly. It's more than a picture of youth, it's a picture of a carefree time and the familiar, easy comforts of home.

Untitled - Photo 231352 © 2014 Lawrence
Lawrence's colour abstracts were, as another comment mentioned, visually exciting

Potosi, Bolivia. January 2009. © 2014 Lawrence
great shot. Love that dog and shadow.

Untitled - Photo 231274 © 2014 Maiku
Composition, the action, the shadow of the girl's arm on the grass mirroring the boy's upraised arm - and is that a jumping dog? Great shot.

Ariana DeBose © 2014 Icebear
one from a beautiful live performance series by Icebear

Central Park, NYC © 2014 Walter Leporati
I had to laugh when I saw this. I've been in the same situation myself shooting events.

Untitled - Photo 231220 © 2014 Mlehrman
loved the cinematic feel of Mike's shot, including the colour palette

 

[raid]

Thank you very much, Lynn.

 

[StefanJozef]

Nicely composed with great drama and the Merrills did their best.

 

[mrtoml]

Thanks, Lynn.

 

[photony texas]

darthfeeble, filmtwit, raid, icebear, Richard Berter, keithp, mrtoml and lynnb THANKS ALL for selecting my JaZZ photos.

Inspiration comes in many forms, one of the strongest for me is when others can enjoy what I try to express with photography. Thanks RFF’ers
