1. They're all stellar

my favorite is Trptych (shouldn't that be triptych?), followed closely by Look Both Ways.
You are the master of reflections.

[alfredo]

2. Thanks. I was being selfless when I left the "i" out of Triptych.

It was a good light day.

I found a Labyrinth today too. It was next to the firehouse in Triptych.

I walked it slowly.

[Mira]

3. A complete home run, Alfredo.

The one I like the best is the third one, where so much is going on yet it's orderly, contained, and OH so colorful.
Next would be the street photo with the silver streets and the lone person crossing. It feels like a shot from an old movie 'cept for the modern cars. And the rest are perfect presentations of what you've seen, perfectly presented.

I'm glad to find these.

[alfredo]

4. Thank you. It was 54 out, the sun shining, and I was chomping

at the bit to get out and neighborhood walk.

[alfredo]

13. Good news. A local artist has asked permission to use

Triptych in a future painting.

[Solly Mack]

5. Oh wow. They're all great.

I love 2 and 3....and 1 and 5....and 4 and 6.

[alfredo]

7. Thanks, It was fun exploring that neighborhood.

[ohheckyeah]

6. I like them all

a lot, but the first one rather grabs you....by the throat maybe, but it's intense and I like intense.

[alfredo]

8. That painting is one of my favorite examples of street art in town.

It's beautiful and horrific at the same time.

[Callalily]

9. What fun you must have had

talking these photos! It's amazing how some days can be such great photo days.

"Venus de Northside" simply blows me away and my other favorite is "Running Colors", what joy in those eyes!

[alfredo]

10. It was a good day long in coming. I think I know the

artist responsible for that painting. We have a local coffee house, Third St Stuff, that is owned by a local artist. She is a huge proponent of "Art Everywhere."

I do like the distressed image of the kid. The shadows made that image.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. You have a great eye

The world's most expensive camera can't replicate images born of an artistic imagination.
It's amazing how appealing that door is. I'm not sure I would have seen that at the time, but it's very worthy. I likely would have walked right past it.

Thanx for sharing.

[alfredo]

12. Thanks. There's a lot to be said for slowing down, taking

the time to see what is around you. Slowing down allows the imagination the room to work.

[Alameda]

14. fwiw....I like 3 and 4 ...and really 4 best....

[alfredo]

15. Thank you. #4 is my Golden Mean composition.

[alfredo]

16. Two more.

Had to deal with a blotchy blue sky. Hate when that happens. I guess the camera software gets confused when dealing with such subtle changes in color. Still I couldn't crop out such a beautiful sky. The lasso and Gaussian Blur made the sky more presentable, but details in the cloud were lost. Life is filled with little compromises.



I miss the smells of the oils and metals. I was made for working in dim workshops. The sounds of the hack saw, the feel of the tools, and the visuals of the shop were what made me happy in those days. The callouses, the scars, and embedded grease have left my hands. It's been years since my hands were cracked and bleeding. I haven't needed Lava Soap for decades. Now I look through windows where craftsmen spend their days. I was inside at one time. Now I'm not.

[Alameda]

17. Nice, again for me its the first one.

I caught this one the other day.....

[alfredo]

18. There's a lot of good things going on in a simple composition.

I like the wealth of triangles. The red on red is very nice.
