These I Like - A Weekly Gallery of Exceptional Photographs
These I Like
January 1: Colin Flannery Graham
January 8: Christopher Broadbent
Special thanks to Merg Ross, who recently described how Edward Weston would give a "critique":
"Edward Weston... would shuffle through a group of prints separating them into two piles. All of this was in silence. At the conclusion, he would point to one pile and utter: These I like."
I hope to feature the work of many more Forum members over time.

Re: These I Like - An Online Gallery of Exceptional Photographs
Nice, I for one will be visiting this every week. Succinct and precise appraisal devoid of the usual hyperbole.
For the record I have been a huge fan of Colin's work since coming across it on this forum.
Christopher's work, though at the complete opposite end of the spectrum to mine, is an inspiration in the use of light and colour. I strive more and more to capture that "feeling" of light and pastel colour palette that many of his pictures exhibit, accepting I shoot scenery. Watercolour or Pastels rather than Oil or Acrylic.

Very nice idea but you need a RSS feed to make it practical for people.

Re: These I Like - An Online Gallery of Exceptional Photographs
Thanks for sharing this Ken! I am constantly blown away by Christopher Broadbent's images. His use of color, light and composition is as good as it gets.

Although a strong portrait either way, the uncropped version adds a compositional element that Edward was keenly aware of.
Thanks for showing, another good choice!

Two Men Talking is very fine, but I find that business in the corner just a bit distracting. Its admirable, but not wonderful, but that is my humble opinion.

Did he copy Irving Penn's portrait of Picasso?

Whereas I find that corner to be very important and "makes" the piece. Just a hint of context and distance to make the image only stronger.
Interesting! And not saying either one or both of us are wrong...or right...

...and I love how that lower left corner completes the forms across the bottom of the frame.

I enjoy the similarities and contrasts of the last two images...thanks!
Martha is clothed by the light and in the studio image the model has clothes of light.

Re: These I Like - A Weekly Gallery of Exceptional Photographs
I'm a little late to the party, but am transfixed by the DeCarava photograph. The gesture of the hand in the lower left corner, the proximity of the two men and the presence of a third person as an image in the spectacle lens makes me feel like I'm in on a conversation of great importance. And the printing is magnificent: the dark skin, white hats and shirts and the gleam of the metal glasses are perfection.

Re: These I Like - A Weekly Gallery of Exceptional Photographs
I like what you're doing Ken.
That Ramiel, Edward Weston, is great. The combination of modelling light, pose and composition is so strong.
