Windows Project

[Jim Scrimger]

To me a series of well shot, interesting images done in the tradition of French Photographer Eugene Atget. It's a series that could be made into posters or a photo book.

Thanks for the kind comments Jim. I will confess to having to Google Eugene Atget, and appreciate the comparison.

I note this from the Wikipedia article about him "his genius was only recognized by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive"

I am waiting

I am really starting to struggle with this project. Time has been against me as I have had other commitments and I am also suffering a bit of lack of motivation. I still have a few fresh ideas, but I am not finding the time to make them happen. A few of these shots from this update werent taken in the "right" weeks and I have cheated and used some shots that I had up my sleeve.

If I am starting to wear out, then I am sure everyone else must be bored with these, so dont be surprised if this is the last update here. If interested you can follow on my Flickr page Windows - a set on Flickr

This is a wonderful project RM and I encourage you not to give up on it....and I have a suggestion.
Most of these fab shots are taken outside...start hunting for cool inside images. That might lift your MoJo.
These might be harder but they will add fab variety imo and depending on how opaque the windows are, you get to see inside and outside...layers.
Coffeeshops, churches, office cubicles, the inside of a truck, a basement.....these have fabulous potential for your project!

I agree with Marko, don't quit on this project now! You're 3/4ths of the way through. I wasn't aware of this project until today and find it intriguing. You've found many interesting windows, it makes me curious to see whether I could find that many in and around my town. I think your work is clean and this project may be becoming boring to you, but these images and takes are all new to us. These aren't things we've been thinking about 24/7 trying to find a new look and new view each day/week. Keep up the good work, we'd love to see what else you can show us from AU!

Keep marching, soldier!

RM, I'm with Marko, Tom and BF. Keep at it! A project like this is going to be a challenge, no doubt. I can totally empathize with the time constraints, but you're nearing the home stretch. I don't think anyone here is bored with the project!

[Jim Scrimger]

A great set.

[Runmonty]

Wow, thank you all for your encouragement. I really felt heartened to see the response here and Marko's appeal on the Facebook page

I REALLY appreciate the suggestions Marko. I will definitely use some of them. I had thought about doing more inside shots, and it was these type of shots I was referring to in my post about having some fesh ideas but not the time. Outside windows are an easy fallback position when time is a problem. I had also hoped to travel more this year opening up more opportunities, however circumstances havent allowed it.

Tom - to be quite honest I have been quite surprised how many windows I have found, I didnt expect to find the variety I have. Thanks for commenting (I dont think we have met before - so G'day)

Thanks again Marko, trhoads, BF, Jim & Jason. I really appreciate the support and stayed tuned for the next update.

I agree! Keep it up, this is a cool project.
