Tom,
Just looked at your site as I'm going back and trying to see lots of PAWs
that I missed over the last few weeks. I hope you'll pardon me if I repeat
comments you've heard before.
I like 27. The anxiety of these people is palpable, and I like the
difference in reactions--the woman in the foreground looks stunned, the mother
and daughter--I'm assuming--appear to be very upset, bordering on hysteria.
You capture a mood here---a rather unpleasant one--powerfully here.
Week 28's pair doesn't do too much for me. Cute kids, but their smiles
seem assumed and forced. The light on the cyclists looks pretty flat to me--a
high noon shot? I don't know if you find it to be true, but I always have a
tougher time with posed shots than with candids. :-)
Keep snapping and posting.
Regards,
Michael Gerard
