ReplyDeleteLooks like Jim is bi-coastal. Blogging in the west, and swimming in the east. HA!
ReplyDeleteGo GUS! One of the nicest photogs you ever will meet.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture? Really?

Ever try to take a picture while walking on water, smartypants?
I agree. Most of the time these pool shots ahve someone perched on the diving board (and they aren't even divers) or siting on the edge.
ReplyDeleteI feel as tho I am in the pool with him. Nice lighting too.
I didn't know Jim had a brother!!!
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteanother issue of "seperated at birth!"
Thanks for sharing this uplifting piece! Some positive news, for a change.

I've seen better shots of this done before. So he got down low near the edge. Big Deal.
"Nice lighting"...it's called available. Damn. Genius.

Typical Zengerbossie response.
Is there an earnest bone left in your body, or has bond slavery to the Crystal Palace sapped all the joy of living from your very marrow?

ReplyDeleteit is the available lighting, but it was used to an advantage.
damn, you are such a downer!

Uh, yeah, there is an earnest bone. That's why I pointed out that this is an everyday, something for tomorrow's edition, nothing-special-yet-some-think-it's-great photo.
I guess when people champion mediocrity like this, no wonder nobody reads the paper. Make a portrait that at least somebody will go, "hey, that's different; that's kinda cool." I'm not knocking the photographer, I'm knocking the photo.
You've obviously got all the answers, 5:36. No doubt you've got a bright future as a ... Zengerbossie!

ReplyDeleteNope, not all the answers. Just the ones that pertain to this little update, douchnackie!
Correction, Jim: The photog's name is Augusto F. Menezes, not Menzes. Yay, Gus!
ReplyDeleteFWIW Middlesex County College has its main campus in Edison with satellite campuses in New Brunswick and Perth Amboy.
ReplyDeleteLet's all champion the pyscho stalker shooter for his mediocre work.
