even for my untrained eyes, they are very good; lights, shades and concept.

my personal favorite is 'a nipple of light'.

This is a fine, varied collection of photographs.

The title of exhibition could have been more descriptive of the contents.

Thanks Banjaran :-)

I consider it to be one of my best creations. It was a simple photograph of a flat amber reflector as in http://www.trucknamerica.com/sm833244791.jpg

By just bleaching the color off the edges in ADOBE Photoshop, the photograph suggested the title ' a nipple of light'.

Thank you :-)

I loved the title "Bending the Line" that Arnab has chosen for this selection. Lines contend with curves in the majority of the photographs represented in this collection.

I liked the quote at the bottom of your post:

The camera can photograph thought. ~Dirk Bogarde

My favorites are "give us a five" and " mural of staircase" which have a collage feel to me. I also like the geometrics of "revolving benches".

Indeed, the composition through the bars of the window breaks the space into areas, adding disparate elements of interest to the composite image....for example the red ladder and locked door in the bottom left.


>I also like the geometrics of "revolving benches".

Same here- the lines of the concrete slabs and the circles made by the wheels of the revolving benches, the lines of the 2 benches themselves..., there intersections, create interest.

beautiful images, and i love the whimsy of ‘snow on rhino’! what is the surface we’re looking at in ‘cry karachi’?

I have to thank a friend for that indulgence in whimsy. He saw a buffalo; I a rhino.

>what is the surface we’re looking at in ‘cry karachi’?

The tiles on a bathroom wall at a friend's home in New Jersey, after a shower.

The morning news was about a carnage in Karachi on May 12.

The DAILY TIMES EDITORIAL read: Karachi bleeds, nation weeps

I photoshopped the pink into some of the water drops.

[gingerly]

ah! !that’s what i thought, but the dark grout line across the centre suggested something harder and metallic, and with the little touches of pink, very suggestive of someplace/something else entirely. very effective!
fwiw, i see a rhino.

Thanks.

Creating 'Cry Karachi' was an Aha! moment despite the tragic circumstances with 34 dead, over 100 injured, 40 buses, cars torched in Karachi. It's a good example of a function of art- displacement: separation of emotion from its real object and redirecting it elsewhere

>fwiw, i see a rhino.

We must share our fantasies :-)
