]]> Comment on Taxi by Bilge http://blog.focus.nu/2010/01/taxi/comment-page-1/#comment-90 Bilge Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:06:44 +0000 http://blog.focus.nu/2010/01/taxi/#comment-90 Such a perfect photography! The little blue layer -almost- feeling (maybe a filter?) is amazing and makes a nice contrast with the yellow taxi. The dark section gives a mysterious effect and because the focus point is a bit towards to stairs, a blurness happens on the taxi which makes it a dreamy looking taxi. The cutest taxi ever, looks like a toy! Loved this piece. Such a perfect photography!

Just wondering if the point of the hart isn't leading the viewers eyes out of the picture. Love the gritty feel and almost smell the coffee.

]]> Comment on Ten Years by Nick Oliva http://blog.focus.nu/2009/12/ten-years/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Nick Oliva Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:19:49 +0000 http://blog.focus.nu/?p=231#comment-47 Even though I agree that the numbers are contrived and that this decade is not really different than the one that ended last year, I do think in this case the millennium and this year align nicely. Digital photography was just breaking through then and my personal archive begins at 2001. I tried film photography in the 80's ad 90's... well, I "attempted"... and was so overwhelmed I never even bought an SLR. It is only after tens of thousands of digital pictures, a leap in comprehension after discovering your podcasts, and a leap in post-production capabilities after buying a Mac, that I even understand the basics! Good luck with the next ten years... and keep doing the podcasts and publishing your stuff!

I couldn't agree more. I don't work in a creative role per se... I couldn't. I'm amazed that people that love their art - as you do with photography - are able to make a living from it. An architect friend once told me she didn't want to work for people that told her "how" they wanted whatever they were commissioning. I told her she'd never be hired by me either... and that she should just suck it up, be happy about it, become really successful and rich, and then build whatever she wants where nobody has anything to say about it.

I have set my self a few personal projects and I find they help you develop your photographic skills and help you understand the ways you compose subjects, so you can improve. Thanks for the advice.
