I can get into your photos, easily. There is a LOT to be said for shooting and printing pure, unaltered photos. When I first started into photography years ago, I shot with several different Sony 35mm cameras. I know I cling to the past too much, but I still think some of my better stuff was taken back then on film. I started editing with Gimp as a last resort to seemingly all the other photographers in this area showing HIGHLY edited and altered photos. My pure subject photos couldn't hold up to all the computer generated photos all those guys were showing. I draw the line at altering photos.
I threw a fit at a show when the winner was a completely computer generated print. It could NOT still be called a photo. What the guy did was take a photo of an old graveyard. Then he went NUTS with PhotoShop and CREATED the rest of the shot. He had taken the photo during daylight hours so he first darkened the shot to make it appear night time. Then he added lightning bolts from another photo. Then he added in some rain, and finally he created an image that looked a little like a ghost. NONE of that was actually there when he took the photo. I just lost my temper over that.
Yeah, I have a folder on one of these computers that is labeled "Objects". I'd like to see more of your stuff whenever you get the time.
