Again? It's at http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=296238&size=md if someone wants to bail me out and explain to an HTMLuddite what's going wrong here...

Close the center tag.

Thanks Preston. That was getting to be a humiliation... I even took quotes from other uploads source pages and just substituted my info; i'm not sure where i'm going wrong.

Always use the image-display? link, not the photo? link.

thats a fantastic image. i wonder if we could see it a little larger....

-- Chris Yeager (cyeager@ix.netcom.com), August 20, 2001.

Chris, there is a larger version.
Eamonn, what Josh said is what was wrong. So instead of using
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=296238&size=md
use
http://www.photo.net/photodb/image-display?photo_id=296238&size=md

Preston, that *is* what I said.. ah well. Fantastic photo. A stock agency would snap that up in a heartbeat! Is there a story that goes along with it?

-- Josh Wand (josh@joshwand.com), August 21, 2001.

Josh, I was agreeing with you, but trying to explicitly show the difference. Sorry for the bad wording.

And to finally post something relevant, Eamonn, I really like this image. Thanks for posting it.

Terrific!

Eamonn's pictures are technically excellent, but I think presenting them without written (con)text would reduce their value. Eamonn, what is your senior project?

Thanks, everyone... my senior project (I took off the second half of my junior year at Boston College to go overseas) will integrate all of the images into a text. It started as something of a creative documentary journalism piece, but while overseas (my first time travelling alone) far too many crazy things happened (earthquakes, kidnappers, strange parasites, cholera, trapped in the Himalayas by freak ice storm, flying lizards landing in my breakfast... you get the point!) for me to write it up in that way; as it's going now it reads with more of a "story" slant. There unfortunately isn't much of a story behind this image- it was the last frame on a roll I had shot out in Bangalore. The rest of the images were all made in Cubbin Park during a National Holiday, this one is the odd-one out from the next day to finish the roll... I was tired and dehydrated an decided it was time to get back to where I was staying and rest, and when I turned around to start home, I saw this man- his eyes, hair, and hands demanded a picture. There were no words, and hardly even any gestures- I walked over closer to him, held my camera halfway up to see if he was against being photographed, and he continued just to look at me. I quickly metered and focused, and that was it. Click, whirr, end of roll. Some of the other portraits are posted in my usefilm.com portfolio and a couple random images at photo.net if anyone wants to check them out. Thanks again for your kind words-

Eamonn

Again I can't tell you how beautiful i think this shot is. Of course it's the last frame on a roll- absolutely how it works! It sounds from the shape you were in like you felt how he looked- maybe that was the empathy..
