Finding art in the ordinary, not easy, and done well here. Delightful captions—especially the humor. Tasteful and appropriate postprocessing. Love the way the images reveal the interesting architecture, which could be subjects themselves. Thanks for sharing!!!

Hi Marisa, thanks for your comment on my "End of the Road" photograph. The photograph was at ebb tide in a bay on the north shore of Long Island, NY. My focus was on the bicycle and I did not really see the shadows until I looked at the print. However the shadows remind me of a gallows and add to the concept of the end of the road.

Cheers,

Bob Kelly

I wish now I'd taken more 'bike' shots during my recent brief stay in Florence. The city was full of bicycles with real character. After seeing your gallery maybe I'll pay them more attention in future! Below are three that I did take...

Robert Stuart Davies PM reply 30-May-2005 17:39
What a wonderful idea..and such beautiful images.
The titles are also very apt and not without humour! ;-)
My particular favourites are:
The rear passenger (a great moment...well spotted)
Three Pillars & Three Bikes (has a very nostalgic feel and reminds me of a glossy mag ad)
Young, In Love & with a bicycle ( just because its so romantic! )
A thoroughly enjoyable series extremely well presented.
Congratulations Marisa.

This is great! Yesterday I thought of taking photos of bikes that people had "mistreated", but didn't think a gallery with only bikes would be cool. Now you've proven me wrong, and I'm glad I didn't create a gallery of my own. Then I'd just be seen as a copycat, and that's not fun :) Keep up the good work with this. I'm sure you'll find other cool bikes out there!
Rob Oele PM reply 08-Feb-2005 11:24
Lovely gallery with a very special "bike mood"! Well, I suppose bycicles are not a Dutch thing only as I see here. But it has my photo interest also. If you like, take a look at: http://www.pbase.com/roboele/bycicles_in_holland

This is a wonderful gallery (speaking as someone who only had a bicycle as transport up to the age of 30!)
Each photo tells its own little story, and the colors are beautiful.
