I've always admired that wall at the NGV. Makes it too easy sometimes with the uninhibited mobs of kiddies, but you have imbued the scenes with your particular magic. You have a wonderful eye for beauty but I would like to see you take that extra step to encapsulate a story with your shots, I suspect that you have it in you. A gorgeous collection regardless. Looking forward to your next one. |

I think your essay is not all positive. The distortions of the water sometimes move into the grotesque and frightening. If you're going to collect photos into groups, there is more pressure on you as a viewer of images, not just a creator of images. You have to be open to everything the photo is saying, good or bad, light or dark. |

Beautiful collection of images and very well presented. It's a seamless experience that flows along peacefully. For me, the first picture sets the tone and then we go along for the ride. I think you accomplished what you set out to create and should be proud of your finished product.
My only criticism is that it's to predictable for me to come back and watch again and again. I'd enjoy revisiting the individual images, at my own pace, but not the video. This has more to do with me than your essay. I wasn't challenged or given opportunities to question what you presented. I couldn't bring myself to press pause and break the rhythm.
I hope you'll continue to contribute to this side challenge. Thanks |

The video was a very pleasant experience. I had to come back to this site and reexamine the individual images for a better look, but only because i wanted to spend more time with than the video allowed. They are beautifully distorted figures and you handled them masterfully. |

Margaret, we don't often see things eye to eye. Maybe we never have done, in the past. But now ... now this is a charming essay, of which you ought to be proud.
You are a good, accomplished photographer. That's not in question. Your tastes are not mine, but that doesn't prevent my appreciating the essential beauty of this essay. Or perhaps I should say this collection. This album.
Because it's not really an essay, in the literal sense, ... but perhaps I'm just being overly literal. I want an essay to have a narrative that is more ambitious than the sum of its parts. I enjoy an essay that proposes, even if only by implication, a point of view that is unfamiliar, or uncomfortable. Something that presents a position of which I would not have thought, but for the essayist's premise.
But looking at this presentation, I wonder if I'm being too conservative? Too hidebound? You've made a virtue of the light touch here. It may be (for my taste only) the Barry Manilow take on photo essays, but I can't deny its charm, nor its beauty. It's a satisfying experience in terms of imagery and emotion.
I enjoyed this essay very much. Lovely photographs, and a deft touch in linking the whole together into a coherent production. Well done. I hope you'll do more collections in this charming vein. |

IMO you give your best with this kind of shots - 6.31 is in some way offensive for the quality of this photo :) |

I love abstracts but as a "street photograph" it's hard to understand. |
