Hello Rob,
A novel idea to present the two compositions in this way. Excellent technical realisation.

papagolf21 (114937) 2017-04-18 1:43

Bonjour, cher Rob,
Heureux de revoir vos compositions sur le site.
Encore une belle illustration d'un savoir-faire à travers cette mise en image très réussie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Rob,

This should be an interesting series. New Yorkers are famous for their diversity and occasional eccentricity. Good idea to include a close up shot of the plans. Looks like plan 4 was scrapped. Tfs!

Dag Rob,

Hier in Vlaanderen zijn de weerwolken op hun best, soms dreigend maar geen regen.
Uw foto zal de start zijn van een reeks mat mensen waar we iets kunnen uit leren, wie weet wat!
Aan scherpte ontbreekt het niet, en aan originele kleuren ook niet.
Samenstelling en presentatie mogen gezien worden.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit een droog Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Rob,

You have captured well the intensity of the person looking at the videl, also the close-up point of view is showing the details of the PLAN showing the different options related to a visit of the museum. Well done, have a nice day.

Hello Rob, Glad to see you are back on TE.
The man seems to be mesmerised with the beautiful and colorful video display, but you had chosen a different theme for this picture, which is fine.
nice collage combined, and a nice idea.
Best regards,
ike

Hello Rob,
How nice to see you here again. You had a good idea to show the man's back pocket with the plan of the museum. It creates a good connection between us and the visitor and further away with the video installation. It also makes the entire upload more spectacular and graphically attractive. "People in New York" sounds like a great theme with endless possibilities.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Rob,

J'aime beaucoup l'idée de nous faire voir les gens dans la ville de New York et ce dans des situations inhabituelles.On ne peut pas manquer le plan, la bouteille d'eau et les souliers confortables du touriste.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Rob

You have always ideas to make some pictures in series (mean with the same subject), and here you show us the interaction between exhibition or museum visitors behaviour and the masterpieces. This is the way I also see some events, thinking of a master of this kind of pictures: Elliott Erwitt (I have the book "musées observés")
See https://www.amazon.fr/Mus%C3%A9es-observ%C3%A9s-illustrations-Elliott-Erwitt/dp/0714890707

My warm regards

Hi Rob, very good photo of this interesting scene of daily life in the museum, very well captured in this interesting image, with good sharpness, light, color and quality. A great work perfectly done, my congratulations, my friend. Thank you for sharing this interesting work.

Good night and happy week.
All the best from the south of Spain.
Angel.

Hello Rob,

How good to see you back on TE.
You seem to have a good theme in mind.
You have created a good link between the two photographs, it also engages us, as viewers, wondering about the back-pocket plans.
I see he is ready for a long day, bottle of water in pocket!

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hallo Rob,
Aan het foldertje kon ik al zien dat deze uit het Whitney kwam. De man kijkt naar een kleurrijk kunstwerk, hoewel hij er niettemin in slaagt middels zijn schoenen zelf het kleurrijkste deel van de foto te leveren. Jammer overigens dat het Whitney enkel Amerikaanse kunst heeft, anders had Rembrandt van Dijk er niet misstaan. Schijnt een groot schilder te zijn, volgens een leerling vandaag.

Hello Rob, I am glad to see you here again. In meantime, I looked at your new website. Have you painted these pictures? They are beautiful.
Amusing picture from museum, the guy with the sweater and with the polan in the pocket looks amusing. Well observed. And interesting idea to make such diptych. I am looking forward to seeing the picture from your new series. In new York there are so many possibilities for interesting scenes.

Kind regrad s Malgo
