Good variety of tones and texture.
Don't quite understand the applied title.
Nice shot.

tirediron · 08-28-2008, 01:11 AM

Neat.

Yemme · 08-28-2008, 11:42 AM

This shot reminds me of a dinosaur. Love the texture.

new2pics · 08-28-2008, 05:20 PM

I don't get the title either. It is a cool shot though.

scottdg · 08-29-2008, 10:29 AM

Cool shot. You will have to clue us all in on the title.

abraxas · 08-29-2008, 10:56 AM

Just a place where a nut can live.

Might make sense in context with some of my other psychosis-inducing work.

& of course...

Foques · 08-29-2008, 11:08 AM

I think the title refers to empty, crooked, tortured and broken structure (being it cave, building or mind)

Ah, well, you are doing well with your photography. Hope that makes sense in context...

That cave house is neat, but the contrast hurts my eyes a little, but I htink it is just the natural contrast of the rock that does it.

abraxas · 08-30-2008, 11:57 PM

Angst?

Don't take this personally, but #1 of the second post is the creepiest thing I have seen in a while.

Thanks!!! What you said is what I wanted to express with that shot.

None of the shots in this thread were meant to be 'pretty-pretty-feel-good' shots. I wanted them disturbing and to cause feelings of angst and turmoil.

tb2 · 09-02-2008, 11:55 AM

Very nice - though carved out of living rock it reminds me of Gaudi's Art Nouveau 'Casa Mila' building.

Regards, Tony

Alpha · 09-02-2008, 05:57 PM

You know I was really hoping for an Arbus-style shot.

Nice, nonetheless.

Resin42 · 09-03-2008, 01:03 PM

A lot of really cool ideas. Well done.

abraxas · 09-04-2008, 12:05 PM

Thank you tb2, alpha and resin. I just need to do shots like this once in awhile to get them out of my system.

BTW- Love your signature Resin!

Nice, nonetheless. __________________ If...you stop at the top of a cliff, get out of your car, point your tiny disc camera toward the canyon, and hop back in the car, I don't know if you've seen it or not. But if you got lost in that canyon without water for two days, you would have felt it.
