I was wondering if you'd be posting some 5x7s after the string of 6x6s you've been putting up. No one likes to be pigeon-holed, so I apologize in advance, but this image seems very representative of your style, which I would say has a lot of (pardon the oxymoronic phrase) "misaligned symmetry," with the subject near the center surrounded by not-quite-symmetrical elements on the periphery.

Damn Jonathan, you know what I'm going to post before I even post it! Here's some more "misaligned symmetry" for you.

I have some somewhat different stuff on deck, but I thought these two kind of went together. Maybe they're the start of a "Sports" series.
I tried a shot like that of two soccer goals at my local park a couple of months ago, but it was not nearly the success that yours is.
Additionally: how do you spot meter a relatively high-key scene like this? There doesn't appear to be much Zone III fodder for placing the shadows.

EDIT: It looks like your trip to Nevada was photographically fruitful.
I was just going to ask the same thing. I am doing this doors and windows project in my hometown and I can't seem to tame high contrast situations.
I get very dark shadows and blown up highlights with images like your door.

Been a while since I've posted 5x7 since I've been doing 8x10 xray portraits.
