[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Carl, As I've only been shooting(photographs) seriously since January of this year, I have to admit I didn't know who Eugene Smith was until I got your email and did some research. Double thanks for that clue-in. I had my first try at enlarging last week and this week will be my first time doing my own thing in the dark room. I'm pretty eager to give some of your suggestions a try. Aberdeen has tons of stuff to shoot if you like this mood. It's prety obvious where Kurt Cobain picked up some of his issues...

I like the second photo a lot. The layers of depth work very well and there is more to look at than in the first picture. The mirror has a nice effect, suggesting yet another dimension is present. The hypo injects (sorry) a bit of menace in the otherwise merely somber scene. I would try making them quite a bit darker and crank up the contrast. This picture would be great for a Eugene Smith style dodge and burn fest. Thanks for sharing!
