Welcome Back, I loved going through your photos and seeing a small snippet into you location, it's great to see you out and about, with regards to your final image

I think that both work well but my preference in this case would be colour, the layers appear stronger with the colour, the buildings at the top then the dark colour and tone in the center with the engaging eyes then the snow and green trolley and orange cone in the foreground all together provides more depth to the image. but this is personal preference and does not detract from the great image in any way.

Omg, David! I had to read this twice and I can’t barely imagine what you and your family has been going through lately! My deepest condolences.

I am glad to see you are back at your photowalks. I find them quite helpful.

It has been a foggy time. Emotional hyperjumps for my wife and daughter and close friends. Thank you for reaching out and for your amazing support. I have so greatly appreciated you and continue to do so.

Welcome back, David. Great to have you back.

So many photos to love in this, with Cool Eyes, Heavy Haul and Quiet Fractures particular favourites. In terms of Cool Eyes, it’s colour for me. Shocking I know 😁

The choice of color does surprise me a bit. But growing up with curly hair and an Afro, I always wanted straight hair…. Bad analogy?

Giles Thurston's avatar

Not at all, although I now can’t get the image of you with an afro out of my head 😂

Welcome back. I totally get how photography can help heal. When I lost my husband, photography and art are what saved me (although that jury is still out...). Nice post and I do prefer the color to the black and white. Winter is almost black and white anyway, so to me, the color adds a bit of punch.

You are an amazing artist, so do not underestimate your vibe. I am always admiring your use of colors and how you combine exposures…

Thank you for sharing David. I’m so glad that you’ve been able to stick with your photography which I had very much missed. p.s. Cool Eyes in b&w for sure. And I love the ice textures.

Thank you Ray. The geometry and style in the ice pictures just baffles me…. It’s out of my zone, but that is what makes it fun to explore…. And it feels good to be back…
