Here’s the Photo of the Day.
Like it or not? I’d love to know, and it would be good for everyone if you told me why.
[BTW, this image is from our “OGI” file. What’s that? Well…when Scott and I are editing photos after a shoot, combing through thousands to find the select few that see the light of day, we employ a practice that I can’t recommend highly enough. That practice is to put those surprise images–the unexpected happy accidents that have merit, but maybe aren’t relevant to the job we’re editing–into a file of their own with other like-minded (bizarre, unique, etc) images. We call that file “Otherwise Gifted Images”. That’s sort of what I meant by the title of this post. It’s got a double meaning… in one sense, like this image or not, the practice of saving random, unexpected stuff to a common file, or tagging it a certain way, is a good practice. In another sense, I do want to know if you like this photo or not. I’m bias, but I love it. In fact, I took a spin through that whole file last night and fell in love all over again with about 40 photos.. I’ll be sharing more of them over time.]
It’s like a car accident. You can’t help but stare even though you know you shouldn’t
i’m not a fan of the photo. IMHO It’s kinda “gimmicky” with the distortion, not much in terms of composition, expression and story telling either. I realize not every photo has to be perfect so i put it the “snap shot” category. Some people may love it for personal reasons but thats it. Peace
Fascinating shot, I find it odd that both the close and far in mages are in focus,
Okay here is the deal with this photo and why it has merit to me!
It’s a simple thing really because it does one thing when you see it and that is … It makes you take a 2nd look, there is no choice in the matter you just have to do it, Oh yeah you can fight the urge but you will lose that battle rather quickly!! and I will be taking that advice Chase thanks for your talent and wisdom.
dig this photo. Although, once I looked at the photo orientated horizontally I kept rotating my laptop to see it horizontally again and again.
