Yes, I think this shows its nature. I am enjoying the curve and the way the patina/encrustation lives in this version without the distractions. It really is a gritty image.
Alison, I watched the Don McCullin documentary :) I really enjoyed it . He came across as a really nice person. i enjoyed seeing him interact with the people he photographed on the 'street' as that is what I do with my strangers :) . All his pics were presented as black and white which was good too. I am not a great scholar of photographer names, but i did recognise quite a few of his old photos. i loved the seaside trip to Eastbourne, Brick Lane and Bradford. One thing I picked up on is most of my strangers are headshots but I ought to capture them in context too and make them more of a social documentary statement (maybe do a headshot and context) . Thanks for the tip :) , cracking watch
@phil_howcroft Thank you for letting me know. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and got so much from it.
I saw McCullin interviewed by Parkinson many years ago, lo-o-ong before I became interested in photography, but even then I was struck by his empathy and respect for his subjects.
