(one of Brett's buddies) Speaking of upside down, one of the favorite stories going around back then, concerned Brett and his Dad out shooting one day. Brett calls his Dad over to his camera for some advice. The elder turns the camera over 90 degrees, and then claims the photo as his own! ;-)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769809692351890869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-77203978835045339392015-12-08T14:13:46.911-08:002015-12-08T14:13:46.911-08:00B, your blog post helped clear up my confusion; we...B, your blog post helped clear up my confusion; well done.

The initial "oh that's just a scratched bumper / torn sticker" to the aha moment of realizing what it really was. The actual dust on the bumper further serves to confuse the eye, especially with how it relates to the sticker.<br /><br />I just came across your work recently - and have really been inspired by your archive. With your images, it certainly pays to keep looking! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Nishadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747999830303045258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-21851158601927538082015-12-08T08:47:33.107-08:002015-12-08T08:47:33.107-08:00CJ, do you know anyone in Michigan or Wisconsin?

It's the type of photo which generates radically different reactions depending on the viewer's frame of reference. And I only have one frame of reference to judge. So to hear from others is useful.<br /><br />Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-7536668241102936062015-12-07T15:38:26.757-08:002015-12-07T15:38:26.757-08:00First thought was "scratched negative that lo...First thought was "scratched negative that looks like something I can't figure out" since that white popped off the screen. Then after a squint and a long stare I gave up and I went back at it on another day. Still no answer (my other guesses may seem pedestrian but they still didn't pan out). I now chalk it up to my over analyzing due to your photographic mastery with a splash of poor geographical knowledge. My family in Buffalo wouldn't be surprised....CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813283882222410686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-65441426930073351232015-12-06T19:13:03.862-08:002015-12-06T19:13:03.862-08:00A side comment about turning views.

I too found the rolleiflex inverse image in the viewfinder of the TLR a help to compose better. I don´t know what works there but at less for me is real that help to edit without understand the content, judging only in the geometry or form.<br />About the main topic I remember a quote a friend of mine shared from a book of Manuel Alvarez Bravo. Is token from the Talmud, "If you want to see the invisible, carefully observe the visible".Hernan Zentenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827574143876112004noreply@blogger.com
