Re: PESO - Rumpled Jeans #2
Because Jeans can't stand without something in them, obviously. (There are exceptions, but we really don't want to go there...)

Re: PESO - Rumpled Jeans #2
> But why can't a photo like this stand alone? To me it has no context, just a shot of somebody's jeans. I suppose someone could go on and write a book about them but for me its just a shot of rumpled jeans in which I have no interest by itself.

There's something a little 'crunchy' about it at this resolution, possibly a hair too much sharpening, but I'm sure it doesnt look that way in the full resolution print rendering. The one button, flat on to the camera, seems a touch flat and should be spruced up just a hair. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Shel == I haven't had much time for that lately, working on my programming project (which I hope I have enough time to get back to after this week , after a series of doctor appointments). But Mom's colostomy has got me thinking I better hurry up and shoot more of her hands (and mine). Shooting her stuff could wait, since I won't move out of here right away. Although in the past, I also shot her hands holding some of her things (a portrait of Dad, a sculpture she made, a seashell). I just didn't get a shot doing that yet that I really liked. Thanks for thinking of it, anyway. I AM thinking about limited opportunities. And also debating whether it's fair to take some shots of her in her hospital bed (at home). Marnie aka Doe

Hi! Possibly this comes from the good old Soviet days when every tourist entering Russia brought a trunk full of Levis to sell, and homo sovieticus was desperate to buy them. Bob, you're probably right. Now, this did not occur to me initially. Does it mean I am ceasing to be homo sovieticus ;-). *kidding* -- Boris

Re: PESO - Rumpled Jeans
Hi! What is "blue gold?" Fascinating you should ask this question. In my language/culture there seems to be a term "blue gold" indicating the time (and grand profit made then) when blue jeans were the most popular wear item. Since then, "blue gold" is used as another form of "blue jeans"... I actually thought that it wasn't the original term and that it was "borrowed" from American culture... -- Boris
Re: PESO - Rumpled Jeans
Hello Boris, What is "blue gold?" I've not decided about the K24/2.8 I want to take some more shots at a greater distance to the subject. Glad you liked the pic ...

Thanks for the "atta boy." It might make a fun project to photograph items around the house, try and find new approaches to seeing them.
