Response to my portfolio?

from William Blake (linhof666@excite.com)
I don't know if it is a problem with your scans or your prints -- but many of your pictures look much too contrasty on my monitor -- blacks without detail and highlights without detail. I am reasonably certain my monitor is OK -- your test target looks perfect on my system. Some of your landscape stuff appears to suffer from uneven development -- several of the images look darker on the right side of the frame.

The last image (a 35mm of path and trees in MA) doesn't really belong. For a presentation like this, I think you want to show 1 body of strong work to illustrate your ability to commit to producing a body of work - - you are going into an advanced class. With 2 groups of work you might be dilluting your statement a bit but if these are 2 of your favorite groups, then go for it. The last picture doesn't seem to fit into either category.

Did the teacher tell you anything about what he wanted to see in your presentation?

Very nice work. I enjoyed your portraits but hope your prints look better than your scans.
