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.

Bee, I looked and looked and looked, but didn't find anything that might look like one. I'd love to, though.

Oh, a ménage a three :-) I wouldn't call it as dissy as that, everybody has been doing dissy blurs for the past 10 years, but it's always fun, fresh, useful and surprising. Congs.

Tones and ligth are beautiful, but the reflection seems horribly stamped in.

I don't know what a Kodak 400 is, my fault, but if you're using TMax 400 for this purpose, and specially if developping at home, do use something else, I strongly suggest.

C., I think mostly the price! :-) But I'm not sure by now. Anyway the thing works nicely provided you don't want to go too deep, as in the Lomo philosophy. It happens I bought a couple dozen rolls, yet I don't feel much about film for the moment being.

Carlheinz, in "The making of Landscape 6659" (never published), it is said that the rocket in the fog is the photo, much as in "Plastic Bags with Landscape". (BTW, JG Ballard? You're a connoisseur.)

Great color and simple, effective composition. There's something that bothers me, the apparent lack of sharpness of the fartherst brown, the green and the sheep. On the right, the blue-green border has a strange glow.

Great clouds, nice green, much as for the previous one. The blue came out a bit darkish and uneven (?)

Eh eh. I think that, sometime along the way, I got tired of the "What is this?", "What is this about?" and "What's your message here?". And of titles, but then, I understand there's a need for them.

Hi, Matej! Well, maybe it is "artistic". I feel a bit paranoid about this photo, thinking that as someone passes by, the old woman in the left gossips to someone else.
I think it is an anti-photo in the way I produced it (randomly, an experiment I sometimes do) and that it really doesn't seem to have a single hint of the usual composition rules, which I find definitely a neat idea.

Carlheinz, actually it dies in color. The only real color is in the "soda" ad; almost anything else is white or drab tones.

Perfect. I would have been strongly motivated to PS-remove the plant in the middle to accentuate the isolation of the foreground one.

I like it. Lots of compositional possibilities in this camp of pure solids. Here's a suggestion, not necessarily better, as the clutter of detail at right seems important.

Eh eh. I don't know about Ansel Adams, but I sometimes find images unpleasant as they are too full of pointless detail indeed.
As with many of my photos, the subject is more the ambiance than a particular thing, if there is a subject, a criticism I frequently receive. I was fascinated by the mist (actually clouds going though the trees in the wind), the light, the stones and lichens, the romantic trees, the weeds, the fairyland sort of atmosphere, hm, did I miss something? :-)

Thanks. Working with old (and new) TLRs is an exquisite pleasure, provided negatives are scanned. Someone said elsewhere this was a barbershop gone to the dogs :-) I remember it from when I was a small boy and it still has lots of human "clientele".

Eh eh. I wonder if they have the Playboy Channel. The church seems to be part of a large construction, maybe a convent or monastery. That part with the dish is inhabited, maybe by caretakers. I bravely chose not to remove it, much as I didn't that impossibly annoying wire.
