wow...really nice...glad to see u didnt break it to the person gently...hows about next time u decide that you hate something you give some constructive critique instead of just suggesting the work they've done is shit cause i just went to your gallery and your cant say that you have perfect works either buddy and im sure people dont give you the kind of comment u just left.

The simplicity of this is awesome, I bet every photographer out there is kicking themselves saying "Why didn't I think of this?!"

mmmhhh....very strange you take a shot identical at the one printed in the last Guardian Weekend(10.11.07) in the section close-up, number 2 made by Paul Douglas.
It seems the same but photoshoped.
Please clarify!

I noticed that similarity too n.n
Coincidences like this are bound to happen though, I suppose.
