Such a peculiar sight. Your framing is great.
Do you know why the single chair was there?
Who locks a chair to a signpost? Espcially so tight it cannot keep all legs on the ground. That is chair abuse!

Posted by alice at September 20, 2005 08:23 AMGreat find. I also love the composition - the chairs shadow creates beautiful lines. Also really enjoy the colour scheme.

Posted by Sean Galbraith at September 20, 2005 09:32 AMEnough already with the "almost sepia tonal colors" pictures. Like 80 percent of your past month feels like it has been this! I love the one with the girl in the air, but we want more colors or B&W!!!! (or is it just me?)

Chair abuse? NO! Just hope of its staying where the user wants it for their next time to sit. The society is so full of thieves and creeps now that you can't put anything out loose without risking it being taken. They even steal trees & plants from your garden these days.
Someone doesn't like sepia? Funny!
You caught another great statement on our society, Sam; and you present it well. I like it.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at September 20, 2005 12:42 PMNice bold image, I like the strong shadow.
Posted by Stuart at September 20, 2005 01:00 PMThe lock may be because it appears to be a Philippe Stark Hudson chair for Emeco.
Posted by Dave R. at September 20, 2005 01:47 PMnice minimilist photo, and the sepia and shadowing is superb. Did you crop the top? I only ask because the aspect ratio appears more rectangular. However, I am also puzzled about the lock on a chair, but then again any big city can conjure up unusual situations that are beyond explanation. (like your photo with the shoes in the doorway.)
Good job
really nice sam !
and congralations on your group exhibition
Hi Sam:
I think your website is amazing.I have to chack the picture of the day before sleep! (it's like drugs for me!)
I study Graphic design and I have a presentation about the best website that I know.I chose your website.
Just wanted to say me and my classmates are so proud of you and your job.
Also I wanted to ask you that, how many competitions did your website win before?I know you are very busy but,If you have time would you please let me know?
Thank you so much.
Good luck :)

Another great shot!
I look forward to your show at Arta..I work in the Distillery District, and you have inspired me to pick up a camera myself.
Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration!
I'm a fan of the dull sort of feel to it.
Posted by lisa at September 20, 2005 11:55 PMCome on Matt, it is abit unfair to gripe about the "sepia" issue. Most photographers usually decide on a theme for a month and then try to create imaginative photos, based on that theme.
Or put it like this: how many photos (in sepia) would you make, from your everyday environment, either at work or at home, or traveling in-between the two?
In a way, Sam is providing ideas and inspiration for the rest of us amateur photographers.
It is also all about being creative and a learning-process, to learn more about camera and photography abilities, to get winner pictures all the time.
Like we say in Afrikaans (in South Africa): "Doe so voort, Sam!" (it is almost understandable as Dutch too! In English it is translated as "Sam: keep doing it!"). ;)
