Amazing. Really. What lens were you shooting most of these with? I'm learning.
GSB: This is probably a 40mm lens, but most importantly it was made by Leica. Those German lenses sure help with framing and timing your shots better!
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
I like most of them but prefer 4,14,19,26,44. Happy new year B.
What an astounding and fabulous collection.
The images display an acutely photographic vision that I admire enormously.
Thanks for sharing.
AKK nailed it. 40 mm lens.
Lenses aren't very important but I find mine to be an aid in framing photos because the camera body only has framelines for 35 and 50 mm, so I am always guessing a bit about where the edges will be. Guaranteed uncertainty.
The year wasn't a waste after all. I haven't seen new photos from you Blake for a while and this was definitely very rewarding. I will return to them again but for first impression I declare #18 the best new photo I've seen this year. Amazing!
I was also mesmerized by 4,10,14,11,17,19,21. They succeed in creating a "first doubt" effect very strong and lasting.
Zisis is right about 18. I probably missed a few others as well because I'm currently busy comparing camera sensors at dxomark.
Are you really taking violin lessons?
I like #51
My son is the one taking violin lessons.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to look carefully at these. The "first doubt" effect referred to by Zisis is something I explored a lot in 2011.
Nice.
My picks: 4,16,18,26,28,31,33,41 (these last two my favorite). And because of its Friendlanderesqueness (which I am biased for) 52.
All good but 18 and 26 are the ones I wish I had taken. Especially 18. Happy New Year!
I wish you would post your photographs more often Blake. I enjoy looking at them.
I like the fact that looking at most these photographs I can say to myself they're undoubtedly Blake Andrew's photographs. Happy New year to everyone.
Nice stuff Blake. Good to see some of your images
15, 17!, 18, 21, 24, 26!, 33!, 34 (was 34 meant to be a continuation of 33?) 36!, 37, 40, 41, 42!, 43, 46, 48, 51
You're my all-time favorite photographer.
26 is awesome, even with the "sprig".
I appreciate the comments and wanted to add a bit of background. 52 isn't an accidental number. Besides being the number of weeks in a year and cards in a deck (been there done that) it's my normal portfolio size. Every month I winnow my recent workprints into a carefully sequenced selection of 52 favorites which I share with my local photo club. I think of it as a book of photos but in unbound form.
52 is too many for most people to deal with and not enough for some, but for me it's a happy medium. Most importantly it's a firm number to shoot for. Otherwise I'd wind up bringing 500 or something. So I gave my monthly treatment to the whole year.
26 and 48!
Sorry, I meant 26 and 47...
No 4 is extremely beautiful, and No 48 is another excellent photograph (very well thought out).
