Rodinal even!! One of my favorite developers. This shot rivaled one I saw from Alfred Eisenstadt had there been people in those seats. Good shot, Silver...I like it.

Col. from you, that's humbling. 'Makes my day. Thank You. Wan't familiar enough w/ the name, Eisenstadt. He's a master. I recognized some of his shots, but didn't know it was him - like the VJ day of the Sailor kissing the girl in times square. He shot many of the same people HCB did. Michael has spoken of wanting to shoot the chapel at Princeton. Boy, I hope he does.

These images are so nice.

This is the shot it reminded me of by Alfred Eisenstadt...not sure why, it just did. 50455828 by David Fincher, on Flickr

the same identification jnanian found the extrapolation of the Clarion Harmonique pull stops to the strand typewriter. I think it is more common to see views of balconies from the floor, where the balconies are "up there", seemingly grand, rather than this much less common view from the the balcony itself. I think this view feels much more grand than it were to be taken from the floor. In the organ stops, the rows of offset circular faces of white enamel in a dark setting. Without taking a photo of a typewriter again, HiHo has made a "classic" photograph! And without having people in this scene, he has seated the viewer of the photograph in the baclony, thus populating the seats. In all four images, the viewer is placed right where they would be if they were actually a part of playing the organ, typing, or intimately a part of the proximity space of the balcony. Quite nice.

Wow, Col. The space/depth seems to wind my handle reliably. Something about so many vertical stories w/ hand-carved embellishments that give a sense of grandeur for me. I'm not sure it even has to be artistic or interior. The industrial shots from M. Bourke-White or press photos of Kawasaki heavy ind. building the massive marine diesel motors that power the large container or tanker ships gives a similar impression, just not soft. Maybe the geezer returning to an old love is just easily excitable or impressed. Being there & doing this was intense. Maybe coincidence, but i got home exhausted & was immediately greeted by a sloppy cold. Michael, your kind observations are overwheming. Thank You.

Great series HIHO.
