Whenever I see that you have posted I know we are in for a visual treat. You didn't disappoint me this time. No 13 is my favourite, I love the shapes and tones. No 6 is fun, No 8 poignant and moving.
Thank you! K.
Thank you! K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I agree with Kris : #13 is the best IMO, then #8 and also #14 for the juxtaposition of just about everything between the sleeping man and athletic girl. Fine set.

Excellent set Camus! 13 is marvellous, you seem to have a bit of a knack for great timing on seagull shots
I like 5 very much too.

Nice photographs, which would obviously look better in print form.
I like No:10 best.

These are some nice attempts at 'street' photography.
Some nice photos here.
I really like #6 - On Hunter Street because it has some analogy with the outstretched figures arms and those power lines.
I like #12 - On Boulcott Street because it denotes opposites. The girl's head is nicely framed within the scene by those shadows, and it emphasises her being the only female on the street - opposite sex on the opposite side of the street.
With #10, I think you may have missed a trick with the static homeless guy on the street as he is. I feel much more of a context could have been presented with his location on the street and the people passing by.
#13 - On City Waterfront is a nice shot, especially so with that bird in the scene. I like the relationship with the bird and what may possibly be those poles as his roosting spots. Nice one.
#15 - On Civic Square is an amusing scene. I like the guys contrasting pose in the foreground with his position leading our eye into the shot to those other individuals with similar static poses. There is also a slight tension in this scene between this prone guy and the others.

Very nice set; my pick is #7, there is a symmetry there, inn spite of all four people being completely in their own little worlds as they pass on the street, oblivious to the people with whom they now share an image. #14 and#15 I like very much too. Nice work!

Your style comes through as strongly as usual in this set, and that makes it hard to comment in a way. 10's an interesting one, I know where Paul's coming from, but its as much a surreal vignette as social commentary. Leaving more out sparks the imagination more. You could almost crop the guy's body out completely and make it all about feet and the ground plane. 15's just brilliant with the 3 guys and the angular shapes which complete the composition.

Thanks very much for the thoughts on these. Some I've decided are good enough to show can be viewed a bit larger at http://www.camuswyatt.com/latest
