In addition I always respect Photographers who are able to access subjects or areas that remain closed off or unknown to most.

This image has real ‘grit’ – it’s great to see Monochrome. Loved and not forgotton…

I really hope that giving this link I don’t violate any regulations. If I do, please inform me immediately.

David, thank you about the Emilio Morenatti’s photo. It is very interesting as well his entire portfolio about Pakistan. Is one of the few times that I found the usage of color totally appropriate.

here is another photo of the same subject.. utterly different and the subject looks so much more fragile..
this photo by AP snapper, morenatti
http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/wp-content/photos/morenatti0052.jpg
the photo above has settled upon the audience being crisp, whereas morenatti selected the biker..

both phots are great captures i think.

I’m spending a lot of time just looking and looking… and I realise I like the disharmony of the composition – my eye doesn’t rest – it seems appropriate given the subject.

Makes this a very strange picture. I like it.

The grainy, B&W image feels as old as the tradition itself! Nicely done.

I love your composition. The huge graphic shape of the figure in the lower right and the great light on his face makes this photograph.
I would have burned down the bottom part of the wall, but hey, it’s your picture.

This photo snapped me back 50 years watching “wall of death” riders from Royal American Shows when they came to my home town of Edmonton (Canada). I still remmember the noise and the smell as they careened around the bowl on ancient Harleys with springer front forks. They would let go of the handle bars, ride side saddle, stand up on the footpegs etc. all to please the crowd.
