interesting series

It's certainly a very voyeuristic as well as interesting. Catching one of the mothers scarfing down a cookie or something is a bit distracting in Double Trouble and the man is very underexposed in Closed. I find the first two more interesting as I prefer the "gestures" as Jay Maisel would call them. I don't want to get into being a Jay Maisel clone but the concept of the gesture is uniquely his (I think) and it very aptly describes what I'm trying to talk about.

Thanks, I had no idea who Jay Maisel was so I'v ebeen googling him. Some nice stuff! Unfortunately I can't find anything about his 'gestures' any suggestions where I should start reading?

Sorry about the last one, it was an experiment with massively increased blacks which didn't quite work out as planned

I watched this video: “A Day With Jay Maisel” Online Class Now Live! « Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider Blog » Photoshop & Digital Photography Techniques, Tutorials, Books, Reviews & More and connected with Jay Maisel on a level I had not expected. I never really knew who he was before I saw this video; I had heard the name but hadn't really seen any of his work.

Cool thanks for that. Off to watch it now (slow day at the office :P)
