Flickr Forum: April 18th, 2008 - Portrait

So many of these are so great that it's pretty much impossible for me to even narrow it down to a handful of favourites.

Awesome collection/participation this week, everyone!

As the photographer for the photograph titled "O", I'm really honoured to have been selected again. That's two weeks in a row! It feels awesome to be picked along side so many other amazing artists and their submissions.

The shot was taken last weekend at a party. The person in the photo is a friend of a friend. It was taken by pre-focusing the camera to a spot where I hoped the O would be. The shot was then taken in the dark with a fill flash to highlight and isolate the face & smoke.

great work jeremy! thanks for sharing some details about how you took the shot!

Thank you for selecting my "Danielle In The Distillery District" shot among the other fantastic photographs. This was taken under harsh sunlight with my Mamiya TLR (film)lucky that Danielle has such good skin that I could get away with it.

Ryan (AKA Metrix X)

Thanks for selecting my portrait; titles 'i'M'. took that shot at the Eaton's Queen Street Entrance Bathroom, the partition colour matched my colours so Snap away I did.

Thank you so much for selecting my photo "New Shoes". I really love these photographs - Congratulations to all the photographers!

Thanks for selecting my photo "Pauline"! It was taken on the UofT campus in the Robarts library cafeteria. She was studying at the time, as I should have been too.
I'm honored to have been selected out of thousands of portraits, and to have my work displayed alongside many other excellent photographers!

My photo was titled "love the hat"! This man was a wonderful character, met him on the street one day and we chatted for a bit about photography as well as his awesome hat. And being in such amazing company - the other portraits are incredible! - is high praise indeed. Thanks, guys.

Thanks for including my photos of Ronley (top right) and Ana (bottom left) for this week's portrait theme. Both were taken in Kensington Market where I like to hangout with folks who are pretty casual and comfortable. Ana is a photographer and anti-poverty activist who has done a series of photos of people living on the streets of this city. Ronley Teper is an inventive, creative, singer/songwiter who performs with wit and humour and top notch accompaniment too! (On April 24 she's at the Cameron House City Roots festival and the Tranzac Club May 13)

Many thanks for the inclusion of my photo "CR Barbie" in this week?s Flickr Forum. This is a pic from a group of photos I am playing around with as a concept series centered on Barbie dolls and modern life. Nothing too deep, just a bit of experimental work in the realm of strangeness.

Why I love my Barbie??.

1) Barbie is clean, always patient and never judges me.
2) Although a bit stoic at times, Barbie always has a smile for me.
3) Barbie never complains regardless of all the sick and twisted things that I compel her to endure.
4) Barbie never feels the need to sign up on Ashley Madison in order to betray our love.
5) My Barbie NEVER asks for the credit cards for a shopping spree.
6) Barbie dumped that asshat Ken and rebuffed the attention of G.I. Joe in order to be with me.

May all have an enjoyable weekend.

Michael just remember to always put the seat down or you could be in big trouble:)

hey man! Thanks for the feature!!
my picture (for luscious big hair) was taken one afternoon when I saw my sister reading those pointless celebrity tabloids. As soon as I saw her then, I yelled "don't MOVE one inch" and voil?.
The other one was taken in the street, after I went to her citizenship ceremony, midtown Toronto. Around st clair station and as you can see there it was snowing.
Glad to be a part of this. Thanks!
