Hello Evren,

What a painterly photo. This photo has just beautiful lines and colours. It seems that the dog and the man inside are living in two different worlds. Lovely.

A perfect voyeur's photo, steamed up as if from his very own panting breaths...

About that secret of life... what's your bargaining tool? I might just settle for a good Nikon lens.

Tremendous!!! Her personality just sears through the monitor screen! And your note is superb... exactly the thoughts that run through my own mind. You were brave to shoot this one... with no motion blur like my photo would have had, from my knees knocking with fear. But in fact her expression seems to say you are not even worth taking offence at... you lowly beetle.

Hello Animesh!

This shot makes me think of Hemingway's prose. It's got a brutal, spare beauty. Just a tremendous shot.

Like Peter, I've been scarce, and sorry about it...

long time no see, rafal.

two great things: the woman looking at the black-suited man, and the black suit next to all those faded black bottles.

good stuff.

Beautiful shot, because of the expression in the guy's face. He seems so open to you, and he's having a bit of fun. You chose a great subject -- I mourn the day when men stop wearing hats completely. All I wish for is a bit less exposure on his tie :(

Your notes are good for the soul.

I love the dreaminess here but I'm not crazy about the writing along the top, which spoils it for me (even though it's pertinent to your notes). It's a wonderful departure from your other Geneva shots, so stern and angular.

Hi Mingfang,
Another intelligent composition! I admire your style so much. And I think that your work with the hutongs is so important. In the future, people will look at your photographs and see something really special. These streets are full of character.

I love your Odyssey photographs too!

Hi Alain,
I really admire this strange new technique of yours. This photo is magical, better, I think, than the previous one!

The woman on the right really makes this shot work for me. She has a kind of 1950s look about her. The blurs are good and interesting.
