Impossible to get that effect with digital, unless it's doctored with photoshop...even then, I'm not sure. I don't use photoshop, so I'm sure. Even if one were to try to take photos that looked like Strand's or any other old master of photography, no one would look twice. It just doesn't resonate in the same way. <br /><br />Thanks as always, for your comments.

Despite it's Modernist feel, it reminds me of Brit artist <a href="http://www.reproduction-gallery.com/oil_painting/artists_name/copy_artist/L-S-Lowry.xhtml" rel="nofollow">LS Lowry oil paintings</a> (the urban landscapes) in a strange way - where the people appear totally insignificant against the buildings. I'd be interested to see that as a theme in a post sometime!E Bikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695547412955287078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-13264276091552263192011-01-18T06:29:40.209-05:002011-01-18T06:29:40.209-05:00Oh, oh, oh!
