beautiful gallery!

Great idea + perfect execution = spectacular gallery! (V)

I'm sure George Orwell would have agreed with these images, both cold & human.

(Side note : "Sèvres Babylone" is a subway station name in Paris)

Love this gallery, it definitely has a CCTV aspect about it. The treatment is awesome.

hmm! this is good stuff...the effect of watching through another medium is amazing. A bit of voyeurism....good work!

sevres, thanks for the kind comments. i tend to agree with you, although i have changed all titles. i think that a 24-hour clock motif goes well with these (at least until i change titles again).

I don't know about the blob suggestion, personally I like it the way it is. There is a very mysterioso effect. The combination of your technique and direction -- the expressions themselves can be unsettling -- works to achieve this. The line across the face in girl lying makes for a disturbing shot. Very cinematic.

adrian (and marillyn), i do like your idea. i'm just not too sure about whether it would take away from the images. while i'm implying that they're security cam shots, voyeuristic, etc., i don't want to imply too much. that is, i don't want to hit the viewer over the head and point them in such a concrete direction. instead, i want the meanings of these shots to remain fluid, interpretive, etc. i will try the blob thing, though, if i can manage to find out how it works!

Marillyn's got a good point here Chris - which may actually be fun/add another dimmension? the 'girl' is the focus of this series - and the series(s)? - could tell a story as a set piece?

If you did what the print media used to do = overlaying a black oblong over the other peoples faces to obscure identity (not too much)- that could/should add another dimmension to the images? - it may also allow you to do some wider work/crowd scenes while keeping the 'girl' as the focus?

anyway - great idea from Marillyn. Cheers, and enjoying this work. adrian

Evocative and excellent as usual, Chris. Could you develop the story-line further? (Do you want to?) eg. "girl eating" has Mr. Florida and his chum behind her. Perhaps they need their faces blocked to hide their identities. Because . . .

thanks, guys. adrian, i agree with you. the titles are a bit redundant. although titles can add a whole other dimension to artworks, i've always been a bit turned off by them. at least partly has to do with my brother allowing his girlfriend to name his large, abstract oils "soft lilies, pt.3," etc. at least partly because i'm a bit self-conscious of what i'd come up with (like "soft lilies"... eheh).

Excellent! Well done. You recreated the ambience. I thought the dark strip was intentionally created to deter people from stealing the images. OMG, now I know that it is actually the interlace effect of the monitor. LOL!!!!

G'day Chris - Love it! - i really enjoy this as a series, and have some favs in it also. I'm not sure about the titles - i like how they are minimalist = good, but the images tell the story each title gives us - so kinda redundant?

my individual favs include :looking, waiting, drinking, apart, exiting, lying in bed, on balcony - wheeww - heaps! ;-)

just excellent concept, and execution - kudos - GMV's
