  1. Right off the bat I really enjoy the red building picture. I bright red that contrast from its mute back which also helps the two figures stand out. Even though the red is so loud, the distance between the two figures and the smallness in comparison to the size of the building silence the images. It give the viewer the urge to quiet themselves in order to hear the secret conversation that seems to go on between the two figures. I also suggest that more space is given in your images. In a few of your images stepping back a little may allow more room for the subject to breath and be read well in its environment. In the case of the red building I love the way its is photographed now, but a few steps back would have made the building look more isolated and the figures look smaller. More space would have made the image even more quiet. Depending on what you are trying to portray space can help, but I still enjoy the image as it is.

  2. I like this set, the red building so far apart, and just this closed off building, feels weird. I like the fence with a fence, like cause it is gone, does not mean there is a wall, still got that feel that no matter what, should not be close by, and never can get close. I like 5 and 6, this thing flying off, like so weird what is happening. I think like what Chris mentions, just a bit tight in some areas, like the last photo, can't really get what is happening, besides aggressively eating. The sign one has something interesting, not sure what, but I can see something there. As always, wondering what is next.

  3. I agree with Chris, I enjoy these images but wish that some of them were taken a step or two back so we could see more. The red building image is the one I was drawn too with the contrasting colors and the way the figures are placed. If you were to recreate the image take a step back so the top left is not as cramped. I also really like the image of the broken/ tipped over chair chair. Again, I wish it was a step or two back because what you are capturing is interesting and I want to see more of it. I do like the image how it is with that being said. I don't know what you were going for and if you intended on taking the image that close but don't be afraid to play around with space and take a step back.

  4. I always really really enjoy your self portraits. They seem to be very specific and intelligently crafted. I feel like you might have success utilizing the immediate space around you to showcase a certain artistic life you may have.
