Nicely done Kenbog - 9-17-2009 at 08:58 PM
very nice thank youSkipjack Joe - 9-17-2009 at 09:12 PM
Ken,
A couple of years ago, after dad died, I found a lot of photographs made like your last image. That is a white border that slowly grew darker into the
central image. Most of them were his old sweethearts, I think. Anyway, that format seemed to be popular in the very early 20th century.DENNIS - 9-17-2009 at 09:18 PM

Burning and dodgeing creats interesting effects.
The high contrast bay image is excellent.tripledigitken - 9-17-2009 at 09:20 PM
Igor,
Yes Vignetting was very popular in the early part of the last century. I thought the boats at rest had a timeless feel to it and took liberty with
the processing including the sepia tone.
Thanks Stimbo and Bog for your comments.

You have a great "eye" Ken.... thanks again for your art work, and it is trully unique the impact black and white has..... liked your others which
were submitted under another thread, too... the chuch was like a oil painting (taken with point and shoot, to cool), I have a hard time keepin my
thumb or fingers out of the way. Skipjack Joe - 9-18-2009 at 09:16 AM
Ken,
You may want to add that recent image of your grandaughter in front of the fountain. It's a great example of good photojournalism.shari - 9-18-2009 at 02:53 PM

But, I'd risk getting brow beat for posting a picture not from Baja. She is my Granddaughter though, so what the heck.

She is adorable, the photo is GREAT, so don't tell---could be in Baja---in fact, you could start a where is this thread. No one has been to every
place in Baja.

She must be enthralled with one of those statues. And it's not just kids who feel that way. I saw fountains like that in Copenhagen when I was in my
early 20's and I still remember their beauty. They were a bluish green color of weathered bronze and together with the running water there was a
wonderful feeling about it. Townspeople would take their lunch breaks at these fountains and just sit around eating sandwiches. They are very restful
places, like their parks.David K - 9-19-2009 at 10:17 AM
Really good work there Ken... So cool that B & W version of color looks or feels so different.
The squarecircle led us to the Gilbert Family graves back in '05... Very interesting site and what a great view (you would never guess that Tijuana
was just over the hill)!capt. mike - 9-19-2009 at 10:31 AM
Ken - you da master of sans color.
i love that medium so much!
i have a double exposure accidentally taken at Nogales airport, it came out eeery...i need to get it up here some how but it is framed 11 x 14.
i'll try to scan.
i am color deficient and B&W work is my fav.

Good job Ken! Liked the first photo of the small tamale restaurant (Carmelitas Stand in Jesus Maria ) as we had lunch there this past Tuesday. Think
it's her son who runs the show now.Natalie Ann - 9-20-2009 at 10:20 AM
Excellent pix, Ken! I especially like the boats at San Quintin and the shoe shine picture.
Your granddaughter is so beautiful - exuding joy as only children can! Thank you much for sharing these pix with us.
