Hmm, thanks for the feedback, I've put in a possible change request to my Ed.

Thanks for the feedback I've found it helpful.

Only got a minute but just quickly on the title 'Duality' - the reason I chose it and labelled one photo with it is because the people are not the same. The series is about people/creatures/objects physically reflecting each other, or giving a visual impression of this, but in reality are they actually alike? Many of these are separate people, who don't know each other now, or might not know each other in the future. In that way they reflect each other only temporarily, but there's a schism - they're not the same person, even if their lives run parallel at this moment.

You know when you find a link because it was recommended by someone from Magnum, it's probably pretty good.

I have virtually no idea who the photographer is, apart from their 'about' page.

Thanks for the comments on the portfolio. I have recently seriously trimmed down the number of images on my site (attempting to go further with this), which keeps it manageable for viewing.

A little while ago someone got away with putting some Cartier-Bresson shots up on a website that went to critique, and his stuff got torn up by average photographers. Now I'm a pretty big Adams fan but I can see both sides of the discussion here - it's not how the images were meant to be viewed, but noone is going to say they're top class work.

I have the book Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs, and that is in a timeline layout, with some very poor early photos, to show his development.

As for those who judge the photo based on who took it, well that's just ridiculous. It's like another website that has 'some of our members' photography' on the homepage. I'm sure that occasionally put up really average shots for it just to see a bunch of people vote it ridiculously higfhly just because it was chosen to go on the homepage by someone else.

Hi all, I'm a 23 year old Pentax user from New Zealand.

I have a passion for street photography, for which the K-7 is a top DSLR. Previously I had the K10D - very capable camera body also. My other main interest is photojournalism, with maybe a little nature for good measure. I follow Nat Geo, but you can't beat VII and Magnum!

Am also building up my own little photography library, as I like to study great photographers' work. Have books by Capa, Nachtwey, Cartier-Bresson, Haas, Doisneau, Adams etc etc. Mostly prefer black and white work, but am not averse to colour. McCurry comes to mind as a great colour photographer.

I have a small portfolio website you may wish to have a look at. I like to follow it on google analytics. So far there's been 30,000 pages viewed from 59 countries in the 4 months since the site went up. The latest country addition was just today - Iraq! If you're interested, I also have a facebook page where I link interesting photography finds, news, and my own work as well.

Cheers.
