Critique Welcomed Hooters

[Brian Moore]

These will be the last of the flipped lens Brownie Hawkeye images for a while I think.

One of the nice things about the Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model is that it is a box, and as such you need only find a stable platform upon which to place it to get steady long exposures. (It has no tripod mount.)

These images were several seconds each. (I didn't time them.)

Fuji Acros 100 processed in Rodinal.

i love these flipped lens shots. they remind of a lensbaby, but is much more interesting.

Does Hooters mean what I think it means?! It either refers to girls or cars...which one?

Fine shots again. Don't put this camera away for too long, Brian.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I like this whole series Brian. It brings some experimenting I did in the old darkroom days and forgot about. Nice work.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Glenn Clabo - any chance we will get some film work from you in the future? Either old shots scanned, or new work. You have a good eye, Glenn, and I'd love to see what you do with film.

I am soooo tempted to go back. I need to go to our storage...find...and drag out the slides/negs. The problem I have Rob is not only space...but resurrecting all the stuff I sold and gave away during the big downsizing when we moved to Boston. We had long and hard discussions about the all the stuff...both woodworking and photo...I decided to get rid of in the interest to live where we do. Although Her Deanship is a huge supporter of my love for photography (and woodworking actually)... I'm too happy with my life right now to cause any domestic issues...if you know what I mean.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Understood. But if you ever get the opportunity, don't forget us.

Thanks, Beth. (And much less expensive, too.)

lol. Yes, I think it means what you think it means, Rob. Hooters is a tacky chain of bars/restaurants in which all the servers are scantily-dressed young females. Thanks again, Rob! (Maybe I'll shoot a color roll.)

Thanks, Glenn. Much appreciated!

 

[Lesley Jones]

I love these as well Brian. Evocative springs to mind, although I'm not entirely sure in what sense. I would say more, but we have to take one of our cats to the vet now

Thanks, Lesley. Duty calls. Good luck with the cat.

So, not the place you'd want to go to with your wife, especially when the scantily-clad waitress says, "Usual, sir?"

Correct , Rob.

I like these very much Brian but what do you mean Hooters is tacky? Someone told me that what they done was considered art.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Yeah, who you calling tacky?

Thanks Paul. (I guess it falls under the heading of "One Man's Meat is..." etc.)

Sorry Keith; didn't intend to insult your Hooters.

 

[Pete Askew]

What more can I add? Aren't the bars flat as well though?

Not sure a bout that, Pete.
