Wow, that's dedication to getting the details right. :-)

They don't call him Anal Browne for nothin.

They do? (Who are "they"?) :-)

No one of any importance then!

"No one of any importance then!"

Whenever YOU say that, it is proof positive that the person is of
great importance.

Oh no! Not another weirdo with many personalities. How many are you exactly?

Wilba ("Albany ~ All The Same Crap As Everywhere Else!"): it was fun
driving around town looking for symbols of exploitation by nasty big
companies. It may have been this all-the-same-crap idea that inspired the
challenge, rather than the other way around. I think this one would get
noticed on the postcard rack.


Great work, this one stands out as a postcard. All I could find, which is
minor, is that the McDonald's sign is not as clean as the others, shadows
and reflections on the sign and electrical wires in the background.

Well to confess, there are only 3 of us here.
(1) Browne plays himself and Helen
(2) you
(3) and I'm everybody else.

Thanks very much. I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I started out cleaning up the wires, and then I
thought, ah crap, that's what it looks like out there, and it fits with the
crap theme if at least one image look crappy. I hope that seagull crapped
all over the sign as well.

Fair enough. What don't they call you for nothing?

Thanks Alan, yes it's me who is ill. Time will help me.

Time wounds all heels. Sorry, time heal all wounds.

Or you die. Get right with Jesus or Buddah or Bob the garbageman.

It's an awesome shot.

Aw shucks, blush... but I really do mean it is too popped out as
prsented for the theme of the SI ... or your monitor/eyesight is dim.

What I meant about seeing this shot in black
and white was actually on a neg. and then a print. The beauty of a
Hasselblad is the interchangeable magazines. Along with colour I
would have also shot it in a fine grain black and white film.

Do you know how much a fricking Hasselblad film back costs? I can
change film (at the end of a roll of course) in about 2 minutes without
rushing. I ain't never going to Arches to shoot B&W. Not gonna happen.

Hasselblad backs? Even used they want fortunes. And that's without the
digital. I've shot about 12 - 15 rolls of film on the 'blad per year
over the past two years. 2 of those were B&W and I haven't developed
one of them... Justifying another back is way back behind another lens
for the beast. (I have three and I just need *one* more, promise).

OTOH, I did order a lens for the Minolta/K-M/Sony bodies that I can't
wait to shoot ... film with.

Cheers,
Alan.
