Nice treatment in your shots AMM.

Andy, this is a nice, gritty series that provides a feeling of . . . . . desperation? Anyway, it's very well done, in my view. I particularly like the barrel shot for some reason.

Great series. I love the titles

**A Modest Mouse** · 08-28-2010, 01:11 PM

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed these.

Thanks Pablom - it is something I've started to incorporate into my personal website and display of my work for sale. I think it keeps a connection between the 'series' and my intentions as the viewer reads the titles, views the work, etc. I'm also working on my second publication which will include many of the titles I give my work.

I, too, really enjoyed these. Great compositions and commentary.

I like the series, great use of the lens...
This one has been on my mind for a while now, but I may have to wait for a while longer to get it....

**A Modest Mouse** · 08-31-2010, 12:09 PM

Thanks guys - the comments are appreciated. The lens is certainly a classic and a bit hard to find, but well worth it - it's one I won't part with until I see an AF replacement from Pentax.

AF replacement? FA* is AF isn't it?

**A Modest Mouse** · 09-01-2010, 11:23 AM

Everything FA is AF - including all the FA*'s. Just went out of production so quick people forgot about it. And by "AF replacement" - I mean a good, fast 24 that is AF. There are quite a few 20-something lenses that are quite nice, but not AF and not very fast.

Nice series and great processing, especially appreciate "Modern Rejection". You would like my stuff too, for sure!

**A Modest Mouse** · 09-01-2010, 08:47 PM

Thankya friend - I will certainly check out your work; it appears we may have a similar 'eye', if you will.
