Awesome triptych portraits
Such a cool idea, and brilliantly executed. To me these work because each shot is good in itself - composition, DOF, focus - put together the proportion and framing is balanced, and the final images are interesting, and slightly funny and grotesque too. The slightly abstract nature better represents how you take in a stranger's appearance, impressions of details, rather than steady stare a full length portrait implies. The uniformity across the series works well, it would be great to see these in a gallery display.
They're similar to these in a way http://www.flickr.com/photos/lomokev/sets/72157622560274463/ - the colour in these ones really stands out, my favourite is the guy with bike on the beach. Both give a cubist feel which puts me in the mind of Hockney's joiners.
There's loads more good stuff in both photostream too.
I love flickr, but it really does distract me from what I'm meant to be doing.

It's been a while...
Been a while since the last post. In that time I've been busy, mostly moving to another country. I'm moved now, internet is sorted in the flat, and things have settled down enough for me to have a bit of time to post some pictures, thoughts and ideas.
Here is a monkeys...
One advantage of living in Asia is there's way more monkeys to take pictures of, compared to Leeds.
