Hasselblad
 

Malcolm Craig Gilbert, United Kingdom

I am 43 and was born in Belfast.Over 3500 people were killed in the 'TROUBLES' of Northern Ireland.This gallery is a reflection of the legacy left behind:The residual effect upon the combatants and the children of their families.The cumulative outcome being idle hands and minds now searching for a new focus.Some destined to fall by the waysid

Nice job

Very nice sense of color and visual interpretation, well done, very layered

photos

Really nice. You've a great eye for composition in urban landscapes. Nice light touch with Photoshop on the water silo and carpark (?) - both are favourites.

I find it hard to believe that you are self taught, surely you have been taught photoshop by an expert

PROCEED WITH CARE

Good adventurous stuff - but don't let the medium (photoshop gimmicks) destroy the message

powerful documentary style.. not everyone's idea of art, but then that's photography I guess..

thanks

.Our aim as artists should be to awake from self induced coma,throw back the covers,and get out of our comfortable beds.We must have a purpose or go back to sleep! Thanks to all with an interest in commentating.

powerful stuff!!

These are both stunning and brutal images.They portray a very real image of a dark past. These shots stayed with me long after. Very daring work!

Read comments you made elsewhere on this site and felt compelled to stop by and see just how brilliant your work is. NOT!!!!

Convictions

Maybe if you had power over your convictions JPW you might have the intelligence to actually say why NOT, then maybe i would listen.But i can only dream of your profound wisdom it seems!
Posted on 2008-12-01 09:17:39 - m.c.gilbert
furthermore JPW, and others! If you put a gallery up on this site it is fair game for comment by all- not just for what you want to here, and what you want removed from it! I am brave enough to leave all comments on this site!
Posted on 2008-12-01 11:57:33 - m.c.gilbert
Very good, very dramatic, and captures a strong sense of (one side of) NI. I've done some stuff there myself, but not at all as good as yours. Incidentally, I see you've changed some of your shots recently.
