Pics/documentation after being up for 48hrs. Nick Nolte scares me.
The first three and the seventh images don't seem to fit with the rest of the pictures you've posted. I'm not sure if they would work better if I knew the contect behind them but right now they look like images pulled from google instead of pictures of your tour. The picture of the woman on tv works really well, it has a story behind it which is what your theme really is, a story/journy. Same goes for the pictures of you and the ceramic boy. Look for more pictures that tell the story of your trip. Hope the tour is going well.
The TV image didn't work for me in the context the rest of the images present. I'm anxious to see the green room and band mates chillen', but your images still do have stories behind them in context with your statements. Overall, I feel that 3 image is more of what I personally thought I would be seeing and being a musician myself have a respect for the sound guy and liked seeing the neatly organized bundles of wires because, hey, this is spaghetti sound guy... I'm not playing with spaghetti.
Ok I am a confused but maybe that's good. So the images that are not working for me right now are the ones captured off a television screen or from the computer. Even though I get that you have not slept in 48 hours and it seemed like a great thing to post but it would work if somehow in your book it was all late night television you captured with your camera because you were up all night practicing or just got back from a show. Just put it into context and it would work. To me the only one that works are the cables hanging from the ceiling. But, I am associating that with a stage of sorts. I just wish I had bit of an explanation for each image. This is because I don't think these images can support themselves just yet, maybe there needs to be more.
The images you are creating are very interesting. They leave me asking a lot of questions and wondering. They each kind of present a story and make me want to know more about what you were doing and why you chose to photograph these objects. Have you considered putting captions on your images, either explaining why you decided to photograph these images or just saying where you were and when. Something like that. The strongest images are those towards the bottom. The first two are not as strong and are kind of confusing.
I am not exactly sure what to think of these pics so far. My first reaction is that they are awesome. They are all really interesting pictures, I just dont really understand the theme. The picture of Rosanne and the ceiling seem to fit the least with the rest of what your doing.
I don't know what the pics are, it would be nice to have a small caption describing what they are. The concept of document your everyday life is a difficult task in deciding what to take. I think this last set of images is a little weak and I dont see how it fit
Are these all pics you’ve taken after being up for 48hrs? If so I’m amazed your even taking pics and where are the pics of all the red bull cans you’ve been through ☺ They are interesting and don’t make any sense but that’s exactly what happens when you get sleep deprived. Maybe you could add some captions?
Your range is exciting. I am interested to know the connection--are you on the road now and are these just rando images from day to day? Give us a heads up so that we can speak to them more clearly.
