Gene Friskie

Alistair - Digiphotology from United Kingdom

The coincidence of our postings is a bit spooky. following on from my lampost art! This is another favourite subject of mine. I can not resist photographing old poster sites. They form such fantastic adhoc collages. This is obviously a popular location.

I think the human brain is wired to process the image of human faces rather readily. That is what attracts my attention next after the words 'Gene Frisky' in this photo - the face in the lower part of the poster.

Lovely shot - I love how people can take pictures of the simplest things and make them look amazing!

This one I absolutely love. I have a similar image floating around that only has the staples in the pole left after all of the postings have been pulled off.

Great shot.

Superb image. Says so much about the use of paper from posters, to art to trash. Nice job.

Cool image, Michael!! Like rags said about from posters to art to garbage but back to art again as you've captured it... Well done!

Really effective - I like the way the background is underexposed so that it seems to hover spookily in mid-air.

Gene's a good friend of mine. He told me about this picture, so when I was there recently, I took a shot of it as well & emailed it to him. Its been there well over 10 years now. (he loves the picture too!)
