My Friend Gordon.

Great portrait shot Deb. I love the clarity in this. The tones are exceptional and the letterbox is bright, shiny and interestingly placed near the centre.

Lovely shot

Adore this Deb..Gorgeous B/W..Love everything about it..

This is an amazing b&w shot. Brilliant work

Another beautiful B&W Deb. No one does ‘em quite like you

Excellent capture Deb.

Fabulous shot Deb…a picture like this makes one want to know more about the person in it. I bet there’s a good story there!

Great portrait Deb!

Fantastic shot,well done ….........

Stunning portrait shot I love the composition and clarity.
This is fantastic

brilliantly shot- love the black and white!!

More wonderful work from you Deb, your images never fail to amaze and inspire.

very strong image…and in a very own excellent style

A very arresting and intriguing character portrait – your b&w toning is always so beautiful!

stunning as usual – all of your portraits have such a human warmth to them.

Wonderful work Debs…..am looking forward to picking up tips on the 1st!

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments – always appreciate them.

Great composition and tones! a fine peice of street photography.

great street capture and scene, perfectly done

Great composition Deb…something really poignant about the letter box to the left..

Always love your styling and how you fill a frame! Fine work Deb! :D

This is fantastic Deborah.

Wonderful tones and composition. You own this style.

Only can do it like this, Deb. Great capture and treatment. The lightness of his hands draw attention and makes me wonder what he’s doing. Is he just looking at something small or he rolling a joint to get high in hopelessness? Is he homeless or did he just sit down to get chewing gum out of the pack? There is so much in this picture, I could be wondering about it for hours.

So very human and so very clear, within that unmistakeable Parkin framework of light and emotion, which though unmistakeable is always new.
You’re great at what you do Deb.

Such a great capture – brill B?W

I don’t know if it’s through vignetting or through your new toy (Lensbaby..heh)
but the vignette as with all of them, you’ve gotten down to a science! Mine always
look rough in comparison! They surely shine as one of your trademarks…so
very well done. :) Very classy work here, and the reflections in the door are the best.
(This makes me think of Christmas for some reason..)

way to get low on this one

Wonderful work Deb.. the framing on this one is excellent. Nice job!!

incredible shot. Tones are amazing

Nice shot Deborah, great tones…I just love all the old entry ways to storefronts.

classic b/w street photography. love your working of highlights and shadows. well done.

I really love this captured moment.. Perfect

Fantastic capture,very beautiful tone.

Great subject for b/w, would have been lost in colour – quality work.

Fabulous b/w

great shot deb , really feel the mood

Fantastic shot Deb with a great photo journalistic style.. a little different to your usual, but still with a style that has those great dark shadows and stark contrasts.. love the subject and framing of this.

fantastic shot

Love your tones- composition and the thought provoking aspect of this image- you are so clever

another awesome shot, deb!

nice life portrait

Very wonderful & awesome photo. Beautiful

absolutely brilliant, such great atmosphere to the image, great work as always

I really wanted to look and think about this one a long time Deb..because I think this one really has a lot of meaning and feeling behind it…it makes you ask a lot of questions about what is going on here…He is very intense and intent on his task at hand…the toning adds so much drama and mystery to the shot….I just love the stillnes to it….it is so calm ,,,Brilliant image for sure

Outstanding !!

Hey, he is rolling his own sigarettes, like me. Oh, I just love how you can transform scenes of everyday life into scenes of great importance, with also a lot of dramatic value. Yeah, people should never stop writing letters to eachother.

Such an honest and sensitive portrait. Exceptional.

Great candid capture Deb

Great shot Debs….. I’ve probably seen him around. Local guy is he?

Lovely contrast and use of soft focus

great shot well done

You are such a good photgrapher

Beautifully composed..fantastic shot Deb!

Deb, this is really fine work. Whether you intended it or not, the image is very poignant. Great composition to it.

Gritty Deb. I like it.

atmospheric, good shot.

Very candid and full of character

This is one of those pictures that everyone could have their own story for and I really like that

a wonderful sense of place and I love how you’ve positioned him in the frame. He looks so lost in thought, oblivious to you or your camera, so it has a great intensity and mood. Awesome!

Dark and moody, speaks in volumes, wonderful image, could look at it for time

I’m just another fan of this candid street capture – you’ve found the character and the design that make it a really beautiful and true image. Inspiring :-)

Excellent photography…

Deborah, this is an awesome shot!

Another great B&W, great shot, excellent work

Oops how did I miss this? That’s what happens when the activity monitor gets too full lol! Great candid shot. I find black and white works so well for street photography. Glad to see you haven’t lost your high-contrast sigature style lol! Great job , love the composition too.

The tenderness is shown on the photo Deb. No need to say more .

(I’m very behind)

Great in the moment shot Deb. So much to look at in this shot, love the signs esp. – “use lucas lamps”, the old phone, and just the relaxed look of Gordon and focus on that rollie.. Great work.
