Curt G.		16-May-2007 16:04
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!!!

They said, "You have a blue guitar, You do not play things as they are." -- Wallace Stevens -- And like the blue guitar these bicycles become more like a symphony of metaphors.

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

Bob Kelly		23-Dec-2005 12:55
Hi again, for some reason the url for the my bicycle photograph was not included in the my comment however if you go to my gallery, the photograph is the first one in my "Random Photograph" gallery. Bob

Bob Kelly		23-Dec-2005 12:52
Hi G&M, I enjoyed viewing your bicycle photographs and thought that I would share one of my own Cheers, Bob Kelly

Ieke Vonk		04-Dec-2005 08:19
Hi G&M, I added yours to my topic Crazy Bikes. Thanks for sharing.

Monty		26-Sep-2005 18:50
nice choice of subject. you see things everyday but in the rush of life you see them but do not see them. understand? well you captured many bicycles in great manner. Monty

Tor		20-Sep-2005 17:03

Very interesting subject matter. I really enjoyed seeing the almost human-like characteristics of the bikes. Job well done.

Mike Bonsall		15-Jul-2005 10:59
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... http://www.pbase.com/mike_bonsall/image/45411056 http://www.pbase.com/mike_bonsall/image/45411055 http://www.pbase.com/mike_bonsall/image/45411054

john boyd		01-Jun-2005 15:54
When discovering someone’s theme gallery for the first time I like to choose one or two images that at least for me are my favorite images in that gallery. Choosing only one or two was not and is not possible. There are so many here. Wonderful gallery!

Mark Rutter		01-Jun-2005 11:38
Fun gallery with some really unusual images.

vanita boyd		31-May-2005 17:45
Wonderful! Fun!

Robert Stuart Davies		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. best wishes Rob

Mattias Backström		08-Feb-2005 15:08
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		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 Greetings, Rob

Emmie Gray		31-Jan-2005 18:21
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. EG
