In other words, I could see the front of the stop sign in my mind, even though I could not actually see it. I also love this photo's use of lines. It is simple way to encourage the eye to move.

You have five very distinct and different photos, which for a viewer is much appreciated and creates a much more enjoyable experience. I also really like the use of color as well, particularly in image number two. That one to me stands out from the other ones. I like the dark ambiance created by the burnt orange and black colors (interesting how there are really only two colors in the entire image). I also like the simplicity of the diagonal line cutting across the plane of the photo. Great project I really enjoyed this one.Chris Crabbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346912740912861284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-17017870965897804432012-02-14T05:39:36.901-08:002012-02-14T05:39:36.901-08:00Your eye for train tracks, or those things that re...Your eye for train tracks, or those things that resemble them is incredible. I bet you see train tracks everywhere now from having trained your eye! I think I simply wanted to remark on the cleverness of your angles and the areas you were able to make look like tracks. Perhaps the one that most caught my attention was the yellow ramp (mostly because of the awesome colors) and the ribbed wall that had the shadow of power lines crossing it. Genius! This is one of those essays I think, "I wish I thought of that."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578521503505808197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-43192145761870748872012-02-13T08:05:44.763-08:002012-02-13T08:05:44.763-08:00I love this essay, mostly because of the colors. ...I love this essay, mostly because of the colors. The positioning of all the lines and images are very strong, they provide a sort of abstract yet classic feel to the theme. The chose of shots was nice because it does look old school and provides some nostalgia without needing to be black and white. I like how in the third photo the focus just keeps drawing away to an almost infinity.Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229860682637225500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-20801312164800588572012-02-10T14:33:54.707-08:002012-02-10T14:33:54.707-08:00I especially like photo number four.

It's subtle presence is really nice, and the horizontal lines at the bottom correspond with the shadows as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836316077124080646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-53022004967927330012012-02-09T09:51:56.659-08:002012-02-09T09:51:56.659-08:00L’idée de cet essai est très intéressante.

Le texte aide à voir une connexion entre les photos qui serait peut-être plus difficile sans une explication.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705924484553162711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-71027767347623007072012-02-09T07:26:27.336-08:002012-02-09T07:26:27.336-08:00I like that in your text how you describe how the ...I like that in your text how you describe how the word "chemin" is not a static word but expresses movement, and i think it can be difficult to capture that movement in a static photo, but i think you did a good job. I think the strong diagonals, whether from the structures themselves or the light playing on them, in almost every photo definitely direct the eye and give a sensation of movement. You also worked really well with light. I wish the last photo played up the diagonal lines a little more but overall i think you did a great job.Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030452549702592665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779964474397122560.post-22506102539957070032012-02-07T15:57:34.342-08:002012-02-07T15:57:34.342-08:00The order you chose--especially for the first thre...The order you chose--especially for the first three--is really great! The descending line of shadow in the first picture is almost mirrored in the second one with the ramp's incline. Then the third picture fits nicely because the bars in the background look similar to the bars of the ramp in the second picture. ANd then even the last two work together nicely because of that red stripe on the top of #4 which ties into the red lines on the garage. Good order choice!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221058306365355740noreply@blogger.com
