Weeelll... I think it would be a self-p if the self was the subject instead of a composition element. Un-self portrait, self un-portrait???

Great photo, great light, beautiful model. I would have cleaned up the desk, possibly, or at least give it a try (at lesat the typewriter?), to reduce some clutter. Dunno.

It's obviously flawless, and moreover, it does convey a sense of harmony and a feeling.

Magnificent. I love it. Now I could tell you about this and that, but if I did it, it would intrude on my enjoying the picture. Bravo.

It's a very nice image, with a nice light and color. It's a pity, though, that the left side of the face is sliding into overexposure, that the box's edge is a bit intrusive, visually, and that at the corner of the box, at the right, there's a (PS'ed?) blur. You could show more of the box (straightened), but I'm sure you made your decisions. Overall a nice image.

Great light, as a stage usually provides. I would definitely haved cropped differently, as the rightmost person is disturbing to the eye, but then the back light on the coat, at left, becomes disturbing too.

Cool. I think you didn't need the grain or, at least, that much grain, but that's an option. Another option would be to clean up skin inperfections; that would produe a less "bumpy" photo, but not te protrait of a given person. Congs.

Oh dear, this is awfully erotic.
Yes, maybe Caravaggio? Also something in the vein of the Death of Sardanapal (sp?) Or some occasional Rubens? Magnificent.
It's very interesting as you can make this and that in terms of style. Some people would call it inconsitency, but I would say you have many ideas in mind. Bravo. (I just wonder if I would get a heavier bracelet or discard it.)

Eh eh :-) I'm so devious I sometimes get myself lost :-)
Anamorphisms are trendy too. Though not my cup of tea, and then who knows. There's still a couple of them slightly to the right of the one I made.

Hm maybe, but it's imaginary. At least because I never saw the building :-) Or, in another way, should I please my senses or be truthful? Should I care for end results or the subject? "What is truth" anyway? That is, if most of the time I care above all about end results, should I take them into visual pleasure or -- if contradicting -- fidelity to the reproduction of our world as drab as it might be? Once I'd answer one of the ways, now another. In that sense again, Stephen Shore (after the Eggleston shock) brought me a new answer (see http://www.masters-of-photography.com/S/shore/shore.html if you wish) in favour of truthfulness and in detraction of pure visual pleasure. Aesthetics is about pleasure, truth is about logic and morals I think. Sorry about this rant! It has been very important to me lately. I seem unable to conciliate reality and pleasure.

That's what I mean, they're true, with glare and all. It would be (to me, and still now) a temptation to push contrast, saturation, black point and do something like the thing below. No irony.

There's a lot of things I definitely like here, such as the tonal range, the luminosity, the toes, the tissue, the frames in the wall, the wood texture, the hands, the unlit meditative cigarette, what else...

I definitely like the cut's idea. I had a similar one, that of tops of buildings cut by [sand] dunes, like land ships. I found the location, but not the motivation.

Hi, Dennis. Rest assured that if you eat two of those things you will be breaking the Geneva War Convention, so the midwestern interpretation isn't that much lost. One must face these fried things with healthy, brave, adventure-loving gallbladders.
Arbus and Evans, well... I was thinking of a dame in the post-modern trend, the "this is a such bore, but then it's our reality", but my library is 100 miles from here.

I like this new polaroid stuff of yours a lot.
Now for the philosophy. I do object to making photos of statues, paintings and even lighting setups in theaters etc., for copyright reasons, not because they're easy shots. Lets put it straight, the light setup at a theatre is the intelectual work of the lighting engineers.
In this particular situation what you did is an entirely new vision of the object that takes it far away from the original into something new. Hence, a squared congratulation.
