I'd like to share some photography

Bomby · 08-24-2008, 12:41 AM

Though I'm not very outspoken about it around these parts, it probably wouldn't surprise most of you to know that I'm a lover of photography. I'd like to think that I'm a pretty decent photographer myself but most of the time I find a picture I want to take I don't have any form of camera with me. I plan on changing that in the near future.

This first photograph I think is one of the most amazing I've ever seen:

Here is a war protest. Notice the contrast between the bleakness of the soldiers and the color of the flowers:

Woman attacks a Neo-Nazi:

An interesting view of the March on Washington:

These next four photographs are by Christopher Doyle, who is more well known for his cinematography than his still photography. He is best known for his frequent collaborations with Wong Kar-Wai. His resume includes In the Mood for Love, Lady in the Water, and most recently, Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park. These photos are from behind the scenes of Wong Kar Wai's 1995 film Fallen Angels:

This picture is pretty awesome despite the fact that you can see him in the mirror.

Those are very nice, Bomby. I like to play with angles a lot, and am more likely to take a photograph of something still than something moving. I'll post some up in a little while.

I find it strange that something as basic as photographs have a style of art to them.

Anyway, I've read a few things about it. You basically need the most expensive camera in existance.

Have Fun.

Composition is incredibly important in the world of photography. Even something so simple as cropping an image is a learned skill.

They're great!! I like the first one, too.

I take a gadzillion photos... and some times of the strangest things... but generally of the people I adore and I try to stay out of the pictures myself!!
