Grandpa.<br /><br />You certainly are shooting a lot of pictures. And the recent ones in the mall reminded me of a German photographer, Andreas Gursky, who at times has worked in similar environs. And he sells those pictures for a lot of moola. A couple years ago one of his pix went for $3.3 million. Geez...<br /><br /><a href="http://nymag.com/arts/art/reviews/31785/" rel="nofollow">Story on Gursky the highest paid photographer ever</a>.<br /><br />You can see one of his pix here that reminded me of your mall photos:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.its.caltech.edu/~squires/gursky/gursky_12.html" rel="nofollow">Gursky's 99 Cent Store Photo</a><br /><br />Be well.<br /><br />Steve Williams<br /><a href="http://vespalx150.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Scooter in the Sticks</a>Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-27181285908814881752010-01-17T20:12:59.646-08:002010-01-17T20:12:59.646-08:00Safe journeys on your trip and may you arrive back...Safe journeys on your trip and may you arrive back safely in time for your new grandchild.<br /><br />Nice series in the mall. I like how the milk cartons turned out. Everything just leads the eye to the milk which have very nice lighting. Kudos for working on your lighting technique. I'm pretty lazy about that sort of thing. <br /><br />Looks like you met one nice old lady to make up for the scary one from your other post. :)<br /><br />best,<br />kariBluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-32327048817894166742010-01-17T08:52:26.124-08:002010-01-17T08:52:26.124-08:00been reading your blog for a while and really enjo...been reading your blog for a while and really enjoy it. Congrats to your daughter and good luck in PHX. I too ride, photograph, and blog. I run the www.ArtBikerWorld.com blog, am a patch-holder, and also a professor of fine arts running the photography department at the university here in Houston. Just wanted to say that I have enjoyed your images and your observations as an enthusiast. And that picture of the milk cooler in the grocery store is stellar! Love it. You should check out the work of Gregory Crewdson, or Jeff Wall. I think you might dig their works... Take care and keep shooting.<br /><br />L&R,<br /><br />ComradeArtBikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838085444826131673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-4350489072653952552010-01-17T07:32:00.543-08:002010-01-17T07:32:00.543-08:00Orin,

Doesn't hurt my ego at all! You're right about the perception of "outsiders".<br /><br />Dave,<br /><br />Sorry for the short reply but it seems I have much work to do acccording to you.<br /><br />Lucky,<br /><br />See my reply to your e-mail. Love to see you.<br /><br />Chuck,<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment. I try to put myself in someone else's shoes. Always a good default operating method, I think.<br /><br />Conchscooter,<br /><br />I was talking to some people at the mall who do a sort of photo scavenger hunt every year. It's a continuing birthday celebration. Mall Security asked them to stop taking pictures. Perhaps they were too obvious or annoying. Certainly not treated like tourists and welcomed!<br /><br />The store is a Bath and Body Works. They change themes and colors fairly often. Last time it was red with pomegranate, or something.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-44405351785747922742010-01-17T07:11:47.451-08:002010-01-17T07:11:47.451-08:00Anyone with a camera in Key West is a tourist, whi...Anyone with a camera in Key West is a tourist, which is the perfect camouflage.
