[Leica] IMG: "Tristes Tropiques" book project

[Douglas Barry]

Well Mitch, I've looked at both and have to say I thought they brought a 
sense of the buzz that comes from living in a busy city. That said the 
stronger images for me were the ones that showed some contact between the 
photographees and the photographer, no matter how fleeting. The third last 
in the B&W is one of the strongest.

However, I do have to say - yet again - expecting comments from people on a 
list as image heavy as the LUG is more than mildly ambitious. Most of us 
have little enough time, and other demands driving our lives. I do look at 
every image, but, as I'm retired (but busy) and can't afford to hire a 
secretary to type up any potential comments, they remain unuttered. Life can 
be disappointing betimes, but then again, maybe I'll win the lottery and be 
able to hire a team of secretaries to type wordy essays on each photograph's 
lighting, composition, punctum, etc., but then again, the chances of that 
are unlikely...

I’ve done another edit of my "Tristes Tropiques” book project, which has 78 
pages and whose PDF file (59MB) you can download here:

bit.ly/MoQmnC

The photos are all in colour and taken with the M9. C&C, both positive and 
negative are welcomed.

Actually, a couple of days ago, I posted a link to a 30-photo portfolio 
selected from my “Bangkok Hysteria” book project (B&W). Although 22 people 
download the linked PDF file, there was not a single comment, presumably 
because no one liked the pictures. No problem, as I like them; but I am 
interested to see whether there will be any reaction to “Tristes Tropiques.”
