Two men in a sea of books, great capture

I have spent a few hours looking at your galleries Antonis and your photography is amazing. Your composition is exquisite, portraits are obviously your speciality - they are some of the best I have seen. Most of all, I love the expressions and mood you capture. You make me want to go out and take photos of people! Thank you for sharing.

great scene!! you captured them in the just moment, so concentrated in the books!!

Guest		05-Apr-2005 22:24
You'd be best off with a spade and wheelbarrow and buying by weight!

Sam Stevenson		05-Apr-2005 22:20
Very nice shot.

Guest		05-Apr-2005 22:12
great humour! Ahh, books... I'm the guy on the left. ;)

Cliff		05-Apr-2005 22:10
Incredible shot. After they've read them they drop them at their feet and the pile gets higher and higher!

Zak		05-Apr-2005 21:32
heh! cool pic!

David Clunas		05-Apr-2005 21:28
Great B&W, don't know how you get away with these? Well done:)

Guest		05-Apr-2005 21:27
Reminds me of people here looking through the magazines rather than buying them! Great capture.

b-w studio		05-Apr-2005 21:26

Vinh Luu		05-Apr-2005 18:27
haha... humorous title, but very fitting. that's a lot of books! the fact that you've got two of them standing closely side-by-side only makes it all the more humorous. :) wonderful.
