Some Mall Shots From Today

[Gerry Widen]

I was frequently here 6 or 7 years ago. Been away from photography for that time which is a lifetime.I used to shoot mostly B&W street/people wet printed. Don't have a darkroom anymore so I am excited about color which I got into a few months ago.

Any suggestions or comments are welcomed. I can see it takes a while to get back into it.

All these photos seem to be looking down from a tall persons eye level which to me makes them very static. That combined with that in the first 3 images the people aren't actually doing anything makes the images very ordinary.

The last image with all the reflections and the man on the chair having a facial is a lot more interesting. There is plenty going on in that image to hold the viewers attention for a while as you try to figure out what is going on. That is the key image here.

Thanks, some good suggestions. As a whole my B&W images are better but too tend to be on the static side. I find shooting in color more of a challenge.
