A Moment in Photographic History:
United Statesian photojournalist/portraitist Mary Ellen Mark was born March 20, 1940 in Philadelphia.

A Photographic Quote of Note:

The difficulty with color is to go beyond the fact that it’s color – to have it be not just a colorful picture but really be a picture about something. It’s difficult. So often color gets caught up in color, and it becomes merly decorative. Some photographers use [ it ] brilliantly to make visual statements combining color and content; otherwise it is empty.

  1. Es una imagen impresionante. Parece sacada de una película de la saga de Star Wars. Muy buen trabajo. Saludos.

     
  2. Awesome! such a clever boy!

     
  3. very nice image – I like the atmosphere and the colors

     
  4. Very impressive image. Great job!

     
  5. I like this. It looks like it is through a frozen windo or a collage of two photos.

     
  6. This is what happens when you don’t really read very carefully. I thought Oswegan said it looked like a frozen wino. I went back and looked at the photo to see if he looked like a wino and thought he didn’t. Just like a young Emperor.

    Beautiful image, was it through a frozen window?

     
  7. That’s an unusual but excellent image, Michael. I like it. Congrats on your new site.

     
  8. Nice work with this. Right out of a story book!

     
  9. all hail the king! pretty cool snow effects … nicely done

     
  10. Was looking through your archives and discovered this unusual one. I love the texture and the vagueness…. leaves one with a bit of mystery.
