Truly great as ever - you sure don't seem to scare easy. FWIW, 10 of 16 is my personal favourite. BTW, I take it somebody couldn't actually "delete album" ?! In any case, nice one (even if they were shot on nikkor... Steve

Brian, more great work as usual. There are some really powerful images in there. I especially like your tight framing -- it heightens the sense of urgency.

Thanks, Brian.

Numbers 10 & 11 made my day. Powerful ! !

Nice PJ stuff. Makes me want to arduously support Sharon though...

Good stuff. Glad to see you photographing the "other" side too. They need some coverage.

Funny, after seeing these I feel exactly the opposite...

Was curious about the ofoto web site. In their T&C's I noticed the below statement...

'you grant to Ofoto a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, distribute, and display those images'

Does this mean that whilst they acknowledge you retain copyright you grant them the above..?

-- Stewart Weir (weirs99@aol.com), April 16, 2002.

Brian,I know that it's good to have a 'style',but all of your photo's are the same.You stand at the same distance,same framing and just snap away.The first time I saw your images I was impressed,however when I see them now I find them boring and dull.They tell us nothing except for the fact you aren't scared of getting close.Dull.

Brian, I agree with Phil in a way......oh what I agree with who? That's right, Phil has a point. They do look similar, but you managed to capture their emotions brilliantly and I had many feelings when looking at your images, which tells me they were successful shots.

Great "in your face" work. Inspiring!

-- Kristian (leicashot@hotmail.com), April 16, 2002.

Hey,I said they were dull as a portfolio,not as individual images.

So there.

.....and even if I didn't say that,it's what I meant.
