Suggestive but indefinite, as is often your style. To me, suggests the damp grit brick-and-ironwork of the urban East. Cold, dark, but alive.

Playing with the camera? I like trying to get good shots messing with the camera's settings, but often they looks awful.
This shot is cool, as you can clearly see who's the subject, and there's some kind of narration.

A long exposure, which burns in the lights and gives some motion to the face, but there's something else at work here. The details, like the brickwork and ladder, which wouldn't move no matter how long the exposure and should be crisp, look softened and wispy, or maybe grainy. Oh, but on second thought, I don't think Nitsa travels with tripod. :-) Therefore I guess slight camera movement during exposure. Nice effect, Nitsa.

Jerry, you're right, I don't ever carry a tripod with me. Also there was nothing there to rest my camera on, nor could I rest it on my knee as I often do at night... :)

You have really great stuff here.

fantastic effect, looks like it was drawn with charcoal!

I love this shot, very gritty. Yeah I guess thats the word I am looking for!

This is what this image reminded me of. Wonderful thought provoking image as always.

Yes, Nitsa, I think a tripod would be p as opposed to non-p. Am I right about that? :)

I like the repeating element of the fire escape. It adds a sense of infinity to the already timeless, searching figure in the window...lost in the maze of the inner city. As always, from you, more dream than reality.

~interesting results here w/ the longer exposure, esp. the blurred subject in the window...the deep dark blacks are another good detail in the frame along with the contrast level...~

[Nitsa]

Jerry, carrying a tripod around would not necessarily be wrong, but it will definitely be inconvenient :)

Terrific effect, I'm feel like I'm dreaming with this shot. It's one of those I'd love to have hanging on my wall - excellent! :-)

Nice.
