I love the shot of the dog holding the bone in his paws, as if savoring it (a la a glass of Lagavullin) before digging in. It would have been ordinary without your sacrifices to get the low angle! But the real masterpieces were the two of Blind Mike. I'd be interested in knowing whether you visualized it, or perhaps even arranged it, but the stripes of light and shadow falling across his head and face from the blinds were a masterful accent to the portraiture, especially the head shot. All sorts of deep and tasty connotations (like those found in a glass of Lagavullin?)?a life lived in the shadows, a sightless man being accented by the very light he can't see, etc etc etc as they teach us to perceive (imagine?) in Art Depreciation classes. Very classy and dramatic. Shoot from the shadow side, indeed. ?howard On Feb 26, 2011, at 7:41 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/leicated/ted+grant/DOG+PORTRAIT---+IMG_7032.jpg.html
