Critique Welcomed My Self

[Brian Moore]

The light in this stairwell is rather delightful in the mornings.

Olympus XA3 and Kodak Tri-X 400 that I processed in Rodinal.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's very beautiful, Brian. Makes you look suave and sophisticated. Cameras, eh? Who can trust them? Nice Japanese quality to it, somehow.

 

[Brian Moore]

lol.
Thanks, Rob.

I think the shadow of the back coming in from the left contributes to the Japanese quality.

 

[Detlef Kuhl]

My first thought was a new interpretation of a scene from The Third Man, the entry to the underground in the advertising column. I don't know why, it is the wrong time of the day, it does not look like an advertising column and the stairs probably do not lead to the underground.
Maybe it is the brilliant shadow.

Fabulous shot, Brain. Like Detlef, it reminds me also of film but I see a sort of begin version of Nosferatu or some similar film from the German Expressionist movement. It also kind of echoes the moving shadows in Dracula by Coppola, only here the branches are the evil hands.

Love that notion of the image emulating that German cinema esthetic. Very appealing. Thanks, Pete.

You don't wanna hear my opinion, I can only say that the skull looks like mine. No horns

 

[Brian Moore]

the skull looks like mine. No horns

But I thought you were Norwegian, Ivar...?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

But I thought you were Norwegian, Ivar...?

I said looks like, not being like Brian. I thought English is your mother tongue

Horns it is then. I knew it!
