New Eyeglasses

Sanders, as a whole, I almost think swapping the two images around would make them stronger as a combination. But I'll leave that to you. I think her stance in the right side frame is very natural, I like the calm yet slightly inquisitive look on her face. I wish both her hands were in the frame, though. The left one is fun, and the angles with her elbows are pretty neat. (my son says elbones... )
Nice work.

The picture does little for me, but I think Claire's remark is uncalled for. More than that, it is plainly offensive. Sanders, I do not think you should identify Claire with APUG, there are plenty of sensible people here.

I love the pose and the vignetting effect of the camera. Not sure the images would work individually but the diptych is great.

Well done Sanders. I love the work you are doing with the Brownie monster.

I like the left the most and love the title

I really like these- they have a certain 19th-century typology feel to them, a strange kind of August Sander type thing. Also a touch of John Dugdale.

Lovely. I like the "old" feel to these shots, as TheFlyingCamera also pointed out.

Human emotion, the human condition, shines through when there are few distractions to lead away our thoughts. Gustav Vigeland in his sculpture like your photography(here and on your web site) remind us in the end we are all just human. (some of us with not as good eye sight

Thanks for posting,

Good stuff.

Interesting photos. "Edgy" is my first impression, meaning that I get a feeling that something is not quite right, but I don't know what. Perhaps due to the slight tilt to the camera, slightly higher than normal vantage point and/or or lean of the model, the vignetting, the stuff in the lower right and the differences in the poses (the right one being much more self-conscience, judging by the changes in the stomach muscles and lower rib cage) -- and of course the eye-contact. The title helps with this, too, as "New Eyeglasses" and a nude image would not normally go together.

The vignetting when the two images are paired together, gives me the impression that I am looking at two facing pages of a book...kind of a neat effect.
