OT: Eyes on Haiti

2012-08-28 Thread John Sessoms

From: "Daniel J. Matyola"


We have invited this photographer to present his photo essay on Haiti
to our local Rotary club.  I though some here might enjoy these
images:
http://www.jimlasala.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=1&s=4&p=0&a=0&at=0

He also does some street photography:

http://www.jimlasala.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=1&s=7&p=4&a=0&at=0

And even something called "fine art." although I really don't
understand what that is:
http://www.jimlasala.com/index.php#mi=2&pt=1&pi=1&s=0&p=1&a=0&at=0


If I allow his site an exception in no script, I can see his logo.

Nothing follows.

Thanks for posting. Some very strong images there. My only nit is the
strong use of HDR, or whatever he did for the look. I find it so
overused and overdone that it has become a turnoff. These still got
the message across, however.

I agree with you totally.  He has an excellent eye, and composes some
riveting images.  Often, however, he seems to go overboard on the HDR
or the contrast or something.

It's a very powerful set of images.  The HDR stuff is trendy.  I
suspect it's because so many folks are using small sensor cameras
(like cell phones) and HDR really fixes those images.  That style of
image then becomes common and popular.  Just a guess, of course.

I guess I'm not fast enough. I tried clicking, but it doesn't stay there 
but a couple of seconds.


Whatever I do, click or don't click, it just goes to a blank page with 
this in the upper left corner:


function () { return _0; }

i can forgive the HDR somewhat, and the portraits are gorgeous, but taken as a 
group i get an unfavorable sense of "noble savage" and knowing something of the 
subtext i'm bothered by how little of a story they tell; the street scenes 
start to tell more of a story; they are not as pretty but within this group 
they interest me more
