Hi Brian, Yes I do agree : it's just too much. But It ain't unfair, as I didn't had the intention to let you figure out of which shots would be nice and which weren't. It's just I wished to be very open to the forum, to show how I shoot. Realy most of the time in kind of burst mode. Just sit down and look at some more, well I think you won't be disapointed. well you have to love textures, muted colors and my way of composing. Thre just is so much to see, I was kind of amazed myself. Yes, I do agree a photograph every 40 seconds, it cann't be anything else than 'snapshots', but I feel it aren't snapshots, in the meaning of cheap, all are well thought about and I still can remember each of the shots why and how I took them. Would like to be in the same mood again. #13 yes kind of graphiti, and nice how the painting on the wall is in line with the box on the rear of the right scooter. #25 yes a nice tripartition in vertical sense, both for the lines/shapes as well of the colors. jacques just like your comments as they make me thinking again.

Hi Larry, Well there are some, but in my view not that many, not so interesting and well token photographs, I jus wanted to show how I shoot. This is one of my better sessions, well I think, as not so many I wouldn't have taken at second thoughts. The whole is some kind of 'feeling' a road at Crete, wiche have so many easily interesting, well as you like textures and muted colors as I do, details. Liked to have captured all of them, ike to look at all of them again, but it can be my 'narrow' view, but realy I do have the feeling, in almost every one, there is kind of 'good' composition and kind of nice colors and shapes. Will rework all, during winter time. Thanks for your comments. jacques.

It's just too much. And wow! - if this was only a 45 minute walk, you snapped a photo every 40 seconds. I understand that you're trying to capture the entire journey. But, I think it is unfair to require your viewer to separate the interesting from the mundane. If pictures tell a story, this would be one that puts me to sleep. -Brian P.S. For the record, I thought there were some very nice shots in there. I enjoyed #13 and #25, and your wife's selection is also nice.
