ollie, ten, r.m. -- thank you! i took it about 15 minutes ago and crossed my fingers that it would play when i uploaded it to my computer (cuz you never know). :)

Beautiful, Em.

Very 1940s look to it. Love it.
DrJoanne (96 months ago | reply)
...so moody, so good....
bryan campen (96 months ago | reply)
What wonderful lighting. I immediately think of old movies when I look at this. Expecting Jimmy Stewart or Bogart to step in from the left, light a cigarette and sit for a nightcap.

Wonderful 'empty chair' ambience. It's very noir, isn't it.
Lydia. (96 months ago | reply)
Beautiful, warm and silent.
B.E.C.K. (96 months ago | reply)
Ooh, the shadow looks like a woman's profile. Great shot!
emdot (96 months ago | reply)
tunnel, mjsfoto, jo, cyrus, greg, lydia, b.e.c.k. -- thanks!
greg -- you inspired me to take another chair photo. :)
b.e.c.k. -- the shadow is from the statue. the statue looks like an eye, nose and lip from one angle and a woman's body from another.

Marvelous. The scene begs for a big clunky medium or large format camera; what a luscious negative this would make... and such a large rich print.
mscaprikell (96 months ago | reply)
Damn, Em! This is gorgeous! it all works so well... the image rocks!

I could see one of these guys breaking into this scene:

Oohhh. It is shouting Film Noir!
Hmm... "After having removed his knife from the now inanimate body of his victim, the intruder was now looking around for the Star of Jade, the jewel he had come for..." (tbc)

So austere and powerful. Wonderful eye, em.
slight clutter (96 months ago | reply)
Magnificent all around.

Very beautiful...

em. i'm seriously impressed. i think utata is pushing the boundaries of your creativity! fantastic composition and awesome tonality.
emdot (96 months ago | reply)
aw, man. you guys are awesome. all of you. thank you.
bertrand -- i thought i had joined a film noir group... i'm going to have to go find it again.
cyrus -- yep. that guy was definitely at the scene of the crime.
brandon -- while i know utata definitely pushes my photo horizons, seriously, this house (i'm traveling right now) is a total muse. i don't think you can take a bad photo in it.

absolutely one of the best B&W's I have seen...in every way.
Big Al Davies [deleted] (96 months ago | reply)
She's a photography shark, she had all these before but just drip fed the classics!
larry&flo (96 months ago | reply)

emdot (96 months ago | reply)
thank you everyone. :)
al -- i swear i had just taken the photo. ;) but these chairs have appeared in other parts of my site. meanwhile.... landshark. candygram. (or is that just an american humor thing? do you get snl?)
bosquetango (96 months ago | reply)
We in canada certainly get snl and in fact have populated the cast and producers to an alarming extent. Watch out, we're taking over your comedy!
emdot (96 months ago | reply)
and here i thought they were just saying you canadians were funny looking.
no -- i know you guys get snl, but i wasn't sure about our uk friends. plus, it's such an old reference. ;)
ranjit (96 months ago | reply)
happy 1000, and great shadowy atmosphere!
Linus Gelber (96 months ago | reply)
