Steve, thanks for bringing this new, long awaited opus to our attention.
And with beautiful photos. The author have found his official photographer for all PR material!
Matt, yes, congrats! :salute:
Got me a soft cover (i tend to prefer them for this format) this morning -they say it'll take a couple of weeks to show up here.

Corlan: Thank you, sir! :D Please let me know what you think. It was fun to do.

Hey, these guys saw it all, and much more, in just one hour.
Guess that over the last 9 centuries, they would have quite some stories to tell...

Corlan: This series is just great., It describes the context of the cathedral (beautifully!) and gives a sense of today's "worshipers". No monks, royalty, knights, or mendicants. Well done!

Steve: Thanks! :thumbup: I've been trying to get a decent shot of the ballon guy. Maybe this is it. The "swoosh" dude is part of an acapella gospel group that sings at the market.

Holy crap! Some great great GREAT stuff out there!
Congrats on the book, Matt!
Corlan, love the series.
I'm laying the foundation for a year long documentary project, so hopefully it will come about.
But for now...

Thanks Jorgen, Steve, Jason, Matt. :)


Jorgen, the guy in the blue shirt said he was from... Norway. He even volunteered to swap cameras. :angel:


Matt i must say i'm disappointed, there was one in there inspired by... you -though not too well executed (doesn't work good in such small format, either) :( :D




Jason: another lovely portrait. Maybe this one'll win a prize, too!

Vertical tree lines, diagonal bench, gentle slope, all making for a natural three dimensional inner framing, unobstrusive background, subject, stare...
Steve, this is simply Kurosawa-esque!! :toocool: :salute:

I stood 6 feet in front of her for 15 minutes pointing my camera at the tree's trying to be "stealth" & finally grabbed a shot & scurried on my way! Thanks Matt!

Thanks for the Honorable Call C! I believe he discovered one of my favorite actors, the Great Toshirō Mifune. Thanks a lot Corlan!:)

Yes he did that -beside being among the greatest (if not "the") directors, and cinematographers.
Mifune is also one of my favorite, though among japanese actors (i'm aware yours is more probably from chinese descent) the subject in your photo reminded me more of another veteran, Tsutomu Yamazaki

Talking about Kurosawa, if by any chance you haven't seen his post mortem opus (directed by his long time assistant) After the rain ("ame agaru"), i'd bet you'd love it -for many reasons, and not only photography. ;)

OK, here i am again... :lecture: :eek: :D

What a real good photo makes us think about... :thumbs:

Just "you-tubed" a few clips from "After The Rain" & although my Japanese is a little rusty or non-existent, the cinematography is Beautiful! Domo Arigato Corlan!:)

Met this creature out in the fields. Must be a cowbitt, don't you think? Or is it a cabitt?

One of the many many great things about where you live, Jorgen.

If I ran into someone like that where I live, one of us is seriously lost. :D

Hi Oliver, welcome!
These are nice. Saw the "Sleepy" and Spider's web shots on the other board, and liked them a lot!

Matt, Steve, Corlan, Jason, Jorgen, and Oliver (welcome to the forum Oliver...let's see more!) Great shots all. Hope I haven't missed anyone. I've been very busy the past few days, but hope to have more time soon.
