Great idea & super atmospheric shots - even the close ups of small details. Very American feel, too.

very strong saturation and contrast... but I like it... it creates an interesting mood. Enjoyed looking at your shots as it brought back memories of mine from such places. great work.

Barbara Read and Fred Schaad		04-Jun-2006 23:44
These images are great examples of Americana. I like the gothic treatment, it adds somewhat of an Alfred Hitchcock atmosphere of trepidation and unease that is so common to the ephemeral motel or hotel experience. Nice work!

Guest		04-Jun-2006 17:33

Hans Mynhart		04-Jun-2006 04:08

Very interesting idea for a gallery. I like your compositions and treatments. Ron

Guest		02-Jun-2006 12:55
The DK treatment strikes again. Brilliant Work. Vote

Guest		02-Jun-2006 12:13
the pp work is the key of this series because it adds the especial mood to each image, the light and soft blur works very well, creating a 'motion' feeling. V

Marisa Livet		02-Jun-2006 11:02
I think the interest of this gallery is mostly in the way you treated the photos of details. Globally I deeply like the general effect and the mood. I find a little less meaningful, but with their own role in the context, probably, the photos of the exterior of buildings. The whole series transmits an idea of provisional stay, slight feeling of uneasiness which travellers have always in certain hotels without personality, just shelter for a couple of nights in a journey. I like the idea and the way you choose to express it. Marisa

Your signature treatment added character to these otherwise ordinary motels and hotels. Excellent perspectives and love how you ventured into the interior. Voted.
