| Mindy Leeds | Interesting angle of view. Not sure what to make of it, however, especially the knees and only one foot on the right. A photo that definitely needs several viewings to form an opinion of. |
| Alastair Cochrane | Apart from the feet, an interesting exercise that shows a lot of ingenuity. What about trying again to make the ghosts more apparent? |
| Mark Southard | You must be a Lomo fan too ....This is like old (not bad) photography .... Creative but a bit atilt to the left? |

What a wonderful treat..... thanks for the journey back to the roots. I did not realize that a home-made pin-hole camera can capture
such depth in such a high resolution!!!!. Di not realize that do you can find paper negative -- or did you make that too? Beyond the technique, the picture creates a mood that is rare in modern photography. Great job -- as always. Response: The paper negative was just regular (Ilford Multigrade IV) photographic paper, used to make a negative image, rather than a positive. - NS |
| Claire Riemer | The toning you have done adds to the very vintage feel of this image that the pinhole view captured perfectly. The house is just a tad too modern for the image. From the very old feel of the photo, I would be expecting a more Victorian home. |
| Allan Fleischer | Interesting photo that shows some of the problems one can have using a pin hole camera that requires a very long iexposure. Maybe you should have used a faster film. Also focus and resolution do not appear to be very sharp. |

I am a scientist, photographer, conservationist, wilderness enthusiast and educator. I was born in Calcutta, India, obtained my Ph.D. in chemisty from Stony Brook, New York, and have worked in the US, India and Germany. I now reside in upstate New York. While I have been photographing since my teenage years, I have been taking photography more seriously for the past decade, through self-study, experimentation and workshops with eminent photographers. I count myself fortunate to have studied/worked with Karin Rosenthal, Ernestine Ruben, Connie Imboden, Elizabeth Opalenik, Robert Glenn Ketchum, Carl Heilmann II, Helen Longest-Saccone, George Lepp, Steve Traudt and Alan Lowy. |

I am past-president and currently chair of the fine arts group at the
Schenectady Photographic Society,
as well as its webmaster. I have exhibited at several local galleries, won a few awards and
have had a couple of images published in art magazines. My work and wanderlust have taken me to
the far corners of the world and I have made use of the opportunities this provided for photography.
My main photographic subjects are nature/landscape and figure, my approach to the two being somewhat similar.
I enjoy both wet and digital darkroom work. I still use my first SLR camera, a manual focus Canon AE-1P, for figure work. I bought a Canon Digital Rebel EOS XTi a few months ago, which I now use for landscape and nature photography. A sturdy tripod, a portable reflector and several lenses and filters go with me almost everywhere, but otherwise I'm rather minimalistic in regard to equipment. I use Adobe Photoshop 5.5, Elements 2.0, JASC PaintShopPro, Genuine Fractals, Andrea Mosaic and Photodex Presenter on a Dell Dimension desktop PC running Win2000 with 512 MB RAM, 40 GB + 20 GB hard disks, 19" monitor, built-in ZIP drive and CD burner, connected to a flatbed+slide+negative scanner and an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer.
