PAW 6 - Meadow http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/34930013Meadow_edited-1.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/34930013Meadow_edited-1.jpg.html> sort of speaks for itself! Local scenerry in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - the official designation for this part of the country. About twenty miles East to West and five to seven deep, very wooded, lots of valleys, comparatively little "heavy" agriculture, some bits very remote, sufficient to hide smugglers in the 18th and 19th centuries, yet only 20 miles from London at its closest. PAW 7 - Rodchenko (by Dzwig!) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/48590016_RodchenkoCrumpled.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/48590016_RodchenkoCrumpled.jpg.html> The Hayward Gallery had an exhibition of Rodchenko's wortk earlier this year - naturally I went along. After all he did use Leicas. Unfortunately I found most of the non-photographic side didn't live up to what I had been expecting. The photographs were mostly stunning in a Structuralist - Soviet Realist sort of way and a very interesting image of their time. I would have liked to have seen more than were exhibited. This was the exhibition poster. Most of you will recognise the picture, (if you don't, then let me know and I will post a shot of one that wasn't crumpled) but in this form I thought that he probably would have approved. PAW 8 Garden Then the Snow came! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/55820023_gardeninsnow.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/55820023_gardeninsnow.jpg.html> PAW 9 - Sheep Then fog: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/32230016_Sheepinfog%231edited-1.jpg.html <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/PAW2008/32230016_Sheepinfog%231edited-1.jpg.html> This is probably my favourite of this disparate group. I like the low light, and the shape of the trees and the looming sheep. Yes, it is dark. I like it like that ;-. Hoping that someone approves of one or two of these. More coming soon. Your comments and constructive criticisms are as always welcome, Thanks for taking the time to look. Peter Dzwig PS Ignore the dates on them... they have little to do with anything!
