RE: Has anyone seen Secret Window?

2004-08-12 Thread David Madsen
Well, the original post told a story that reminded me of the story in
the movie/novella "Secret Window", where an author is approached by a
man who claims that the author stole his story.  A photographer claimed
I stole a photo of his - same pose, same lighting, same toning, and even
the same model.  Well, I checked with the model and she replied with
several unsavory words about the photographer, basically saying that he
is more of a predator than a photographer and that she never did any
such work with him.  It is a standard pose so I'm sure that many
photographers have something similar in their portfolio.  I am rather
proud of it and it is getting great reviews all over the world right
now.  My 15 minutes are probably about up, though.

Whitespace??? Blackspace???

Anyway, I think it's excellent. Love the lighting.
Hair curling back over her neck interrupts the curve of her neck.
Slightly reduces curving flow from top to bottom.
Gives head appearance of  being separate from and placed on top of her

Then again, that's just me, and I'm certainly no expert.

I think it's very, very good.

Nice shot. It reminds me of a movie or Broadway poster (I think it was

Dave;

I like the lighting and composition.  i can see where another photog 
would think it was stolen as it is a "standard" pose/lighting 
combination and while the model is very attractive she does have a 
"generic" look about her.

A friend of mine shot the identical picture as i did of an atrium at the 
  National Museum of Natural History several years after i did without 
ever seeing my shot.  http://pug.komkon.org/03aug/atrium.html
