Hi again John, this is one of my favourites of yours. You sure get around the south island a bit!

Craig Beckman {K:422} 1/25/2005

that is an absolute beautiful picture, the sun reflection off the chair makes it inviting. nice shot!

A K {K:8499} 1/10/2005

Cropping down just a little bit to include a tad more foreground, would have made this perfect, imho. I love those gorgeous colours. And the chair definetly gives it another dimension.

Fadel J {K:13974} 1/9/2005

Amazing scene, and yes the chair is perfectly positioned! New Zealand is really a wonderful country, I hope one day I get the chance to visit it!

Jonathan Wilson {K:591} 1/5/2005

great looking capture, seems to bring back memories to me

Luís Lobo Henriques {K:9002} 12/4/2004

My God! john, you have a great portfolio! I love so much this shot!!! I love the sea, the sand, the calm. WOW!
Best wish.

John Strazza {K:11535} 11/25/2004

i so have hoped to find a place like this for this week end so it's hard for me to see further into this particular images other than to really feel being there in this wonderful place .. - ... anyway as i looked through many of your images again i remember the impact they had on me when i first saw them - rich, strong, emotional content weaved into the fabric of these images .. you have a great eye and great sense of light as well .. you have a great sense of the moment and more .. (and thank you, i'm honored to hear from you .. ) js

Sorry Matheson, not sure what you mean by "giving it all away". John

Silvia Festa {K:6008} 11/9/2004

Neil Dolman {K:26883} 11/7/2004

Hi John, thanks a million for visiting my dad! I was thrilled to read you had actually done that! It means a lot to me...you can't know how much and i really appreciate it.
I left TVNZ in 1985 when i came over to Switzerland, i now work for Swiss TV. Be great if we knew some of the same people. I'm sure most of them there will know me! I actually have a Feltex award sitting here right in front of me for a film i worked on with Ian Taylor that did really well "2 Days to soft rock cafe", do you know it?
Anyway once again thanks and i will always treasure what you did for me. Your friend, Neil

Debby Biri {K:4775} 11/7/2004

John, Don't think I've ever seen an upholstered chair on a beach - really makes this an unusual spot. Glad you got some use of someone else's discarded rubbish. Great shot. -- Debby

John Lamb {K:9687} 11/7/2004

Thanks for the comment Paolo. Not for my photo but that it took me back to your images and that marvelous photograph of Anna. One of the most truthful I have seen in a long time. Regards John

Paolo Longo {K:4570} 11/6/2004

This chair is very important for the right reading of the picture from left to right!
Great composition!
congrats

Tony Quinlan {K:2094} 11/5/2004

Wish I were there right now.
Great photo.

NN {K:26787} 11/2/2004

Love the title ... and the view :) The chair does look inviting in this well composed shot!

Tim Long {K:9228} 11/1/2004

Pull up a chair, John! Great lighting here makes this old seat pop. Very well done, as is your usual.
Thanks for commenting on my Missing. Your images are not showing up among my "Friends'Images" though you are and have long been on my list. Your comment sent me to your portfolio to look.

Tim Schumm {K:29196} 10/31/2004

hehe we got a few of those here and i have similar feelings as you on the subject of junk....but hey some things do have their place

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 10/27/2004

Had to go back to this - because of it?s beaty and vibrant colours and extremly perfection in composition.

Jeanette

Roberto Ramires {K:2420} 10/26/2004

Fantastic composition!!! Great colours!

How interesting! I've been noticing chairs placed in odd places recently--took one such photo this very morning. For my taste the distant scene is just a little too soft. I can see the effect you wanted--stereoscopic resolution of foreground--but feel it's ever so slightly overdone... More like Gaussian blurring than genuine out-of-focus, particularly at upper left. The D70 seems to be working well for you!

John Griep {K:2521} 10/18/2004

Hi John,
Dramatic sunlight you have overthere, almost a surrealistic painting.
Would love to sit there for a while.
So it's a great shot, very well composed.
John

John Lamb {K:9687} 10/17/2004

It will be waiting for you Bea. When you leave New York turn right and then left at the end of the World, you can't miss us. John

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59855} 10/16/2004

Very nice scenery and very good comp. beautiful landscape as well.

Jeanette

Matheson Beaumont {K:-337} 10/16/2004

Quirky ! Well seen with a nice rendering of the foreground and
foreshore. What a pity to have to give it all away !
Well handled,

Cheers

Matheson

Warren B {K:7272} 10/16/2004

Very evocative shot, well composed. The mood speaks for itself. Well done.

Roger Skinner

{K:81846} 10/16/2004

Shag Point and Moeraki Point what a contrast in names!! Great shot John understand your concern about dumping.. I reckon its time to go pick it up n take it to the recyclers

Carlos A. Sabillon {K:2660} 10/15/2004
