Style Weekly: "the politics of fear and a growing racial divide still cripple Richmond [Virginia]." Mayor Douglas Wilder: "a cesspool of corruption and inefficiency." Ninth most dangerous city in the US. The state claims that "Virginia is for lovers" but the General Assembly passed a law "which some contend is the most anti-gay legislation in the country." (Style Weekly) And don't get me started on Henhicko County, Native American for "land of the hicks." Now at www.richmondsucks.com.

Good afternoon, timsamoff
Your photostream has been viewed 10000 times.
As should be the tradition, I opted not to shower or shave for my big moment.
Thanks for "viewing" everyone!

Good afternoon, New York City
Groovin' NY Style 051
Prinicipia Photographica
There is a magic element of grit and spontaneity that cannot be staged. This is the beauty of street photography.
Artificial lighting—a simple studio light, a flash even, almost exponentially diminishes the power of the aesthetic algorithm and alchemy that work to manifest the moment when one’s intuition beholds all the elements that bedazzle and congeal: ambiance and its light, human movement, industrial design, the orgy of contemporary color and curvature; and, perhaps most importantly, the drop-jaw awe, the naïve wonder and the magic emotions and gestures painted upon a picture with the expressions of bystanders in the background.

Good afternoon, SF Bay area
undeFEETed
I thought about bringing a trampoline to this photoshoot but getting it to the beach was a problem because I couldn't fit it in my car. Luckily she was able to jump high enough, afterall she is the undefeated West Coast Champion for four years. The thin clouds provided a little softness to the lighting on her face and and it gave some nice highlights to her arm that I like. I told her to wear a tank top instead of a longsleeve uniform to add to the sexiness of it but it also helped to show definition in her athletic body. Her mom is not pictured but she is to the right holding a big white reflector to fill in some shadows. We did about eight takes of this until I was confident enough that I got a good shot.
Turning a picture black and white from a digital color image is a different job all together. Look at the difference in tones between my last five images in my stream. I'm not sure what I like best.

Good afternoon, Phoenix
Fly fish 1
I've tried a few times to get a good pic of somebody fly fishing, and this is the best so far. Ran into this guy during Mine and Rex Bibendi's recent trip into the Saguaro forest around Phoenix.

About Me
- Chris Martin
- "...the quintessential everyman, he's a little bit of everything that we're all striving for... mostly the search for the truth in our lives. From poignant notions of love to our own inescapable lascivious tendencies, from mundane to the outlandish, on that journey we face tough questions, but even tougher decisions. He'll take you on his journey and back, he won't promise you enlightenment (who can?), but you can at least be assured of a good time. Thanks..." - boyzco
