Harry, I only have time for one comment today, but it's about more than one image. When I commented last Sunday, I was thinking about your Mixed-Medium works. Have thought about them since. Even though you've left Poser now (at least for the most part), and didn't master it as much as you'd wished (I'm going on one of your introductions), you did marvelous work in this area. You expressed a wonderful sensibility. Many of these works are very playful, often subtly so; and sometimes out-and-out wry and witty. Some are poetic---like this one, which is poetic even without the man being rescued, and therefore all the moreso with him. Many of these pieces have abstract elements---witness the shapes in this piece, in front of the search boat: Even if you said that Poser limited what you could do with shapes (compared to physical painting, for example), they're aesthetic choices, and they're part of the many abstract shapes you have in your Mixed Medium pieces. Poser and Bryce seems to have given your abstract-eye a great 'opening'. Also, your M.Medium pieces show a lot of poetry, as witnessed by the beautiful orange-yellow-violet hues here. And also boldness: Look at the way the search light, here, cuts the image into a few sections---a very bold use of light. And how the piece is so heightened by the strong silhouettes of the boats---ie, black against those beautiful sunset hues. This is both bold and poetic. And there's a lot of that in these images, even in the colors alone. The image of the car in the desert ("Driving in the Desert"---I just looked it up) is wonderfully Pop-Art-like, but also folk-art-like; it has day-glo elements; and it has a beautiful old-postcard patina. The colors burst. It's wonderful to see all that. Here, the colors are inward and deep. In the warslug piece, your colors get murky, like the swamp they're in. You made terrific color choices. You've covered a wide array of expression. Many of these images---this is a prime example---have a strong graphic sense, with lots of emotion. In short, you were really exploring terrific things, both visually and expressively---the graphic realm suited you very well! I understand if you don't go back to Poser, etc, but I love these pieces for their graphic sense, boldness, play, humor, abstraction, and poetry. I can't do a pebble in Poser (and my Bryce is worse, and my Blender induces uncontrollable weeping), so I respect anyone who ventures into those horrifying waters for several years. But for you, they brought out a wonderful eye in you. An eye all-present in your photography, but in a totally different medium. So this is a comment on the whole style, not just this very poetic piece. I hope to be back soon, for another session. The purples in this image, as well as the silky sheen in the search light, are wonderfully expressive...
