I have been visiting the sites in my spare moments, however, and I've been impressed with a lot of the work (not to mention the discipline of shooting, processing and putting up 1 shot a week). I thought I would comment on a few of the shots that have captured my eye. The list below represents just a tiny sample of the body of PAW work. My apologies for such a partial listing, and for the brevity of the comments. Guy P.S. Looking at all of this work has really made me want to work on new (for me) areas, particularly portraits and color. Lee Bachus "Birdwatchers" - the unusual point of view makes for a surprising, almost abstract shot. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=169311 "Parade" - strong composition, with the subject filling the frame. The color enhances the festive feel of the subject matter. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=158794 Kyle Cassidy "Beside the blinded..." - a fine portrait, IMO. The lighting and the headress the woman is wearing make the shot, for me. http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/paw/2001/8/index.html "On the Road to Bulgaria" - a nicely composed, mysterious shot, with the pig in the foreground. http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/paw/2001/11/index.html Giuseppe Del Duca (any know how to reach Giuseppe?) "Green Ball" - a great shot, IMO. Enigmatic, beautifully composed, nice use of color. http://www.yourworks.it/foto/gdd/week/week1.html "Donna" - I like this one for the play of shadow and light. A strong, graphic shot. http://www.yourworks.it/foto/gdd/week/week7.html "Carnevale" - Catches my eye with its color and movement. http://www.yourworks.it/foto/gdd/week/week8.html Nathan Wajsman Week 7 - very atmospheric. The solitary figure adds to the mood of this image. http://www.geocities.com/belgiangator/7.jpg Week 8 - the Vespa handlebars. Strong, graphic composition + unexpected self portrait. http://www.geocities.com/belgiangator/8.jpg
