a portrait with lots of character - a man with sunglasses in front of a cloudy sky (?) - his face is distorted, because the camera was very close to him - his chin is big, his forehead small - he looks uninterested, maybe a little agressive - his scarred…

an image of one of my favorite photographers: so i'll probably be biased - but so what - the title gives a clue, we see a scene of a crime - the dislocated legs of a person in a corner of a claustrophobic room, stains (of blood?) on the wallpaper - the se…

an image that pops in the eyes - an everyday scene: a woman sitting on a bench, her handbag right next to her - she is studying what appears to be a streetmap - it's summer, she is wearing a dark costume and sandals - that's all - but then: the crop - it…

10. great photos from my contacts / 06-07-2007: tobitobi - fuck off!

a place in front of a church (probably) - we see a young lady - maybe she already waited for a pretty long time (and no one showed up) - anyway, she doesn't look too happy - her gesture is indicating indignation and she is looking nowhere - behind her a w…

green, all green - this is the first impression of this image - a six-seating bench in the underground (presumably), black leather - green tiles and a green emergency exit sign - white and black lines, that's all - an unpersonal light, nobody to see - all…

13. great photos from my contacts / 20-07-2007: fotonstudio - manojo

when i saw this image for the first time some months ago, it immediately caught my eyes - what an arrangement !! - just four hands in front of a dark background, that's all - two hands of a black and two of a white forming a cascade - the lines of the fin…

a dark sky, two silhouettes if the front: women talking to each other - the left one is pointing at the other, it seems that she is telling something important to the right woman - i cannot see her faces, just their contours - but this is just enough to t…

an open window, a young lady sitting in the aperture, her back leaning against the side - her left leg is bent, the right one almost stretched out - her hands on knee and thigh - her skirt has rode up, showing lots of her beautiful legs (this is THE eyeca…

16. great photos from my contacts / 01-07-2007: michele marmotte - disappearing road

we see lousy weather - it's dawn or dusk and it is raining or the rain had just stopped - we see a highway, just one car is coming - slowly, as there is a marking on the road - slowly, because pedestrians could be crossing - but there is nobody - the shot…

18. great photos from my contacts / 28-07-2007: tschnitzlein - subterranean light

a (almost) black and white scene of a roofed place - the place itself is paved, a stripe of grids and a rough wall close it to the left - the ceiling is broken up on the left side and there are diagonal rays of light reaching from the apertures to the gri…

19. great photos from my contacts / 18-08-2007: {me} - chairs around a tree

a simple photo, yet complex - there is a trunk of a tree, but one cannot see the ground - green chairs are hiding the view - the chairs surround the tree circularly - somebody deliberately made a little piece of art of a pile of chairs, probably in a beer…

20. great photos from my contacts / 02-08-2007: blaueaster - white church

white and light grey in wonderful forms - this photo really stands out - an architectural shot of a different kind - if there were no title, one would find it difficult to determine what one sees - the interior of a church with an arch and a column - the…
