Welcome

Actually, this is the one I wanted to post.

The Dalles.

That cracks me up. Even looks like bullet holes in a few places. The empty dead flower pot sets it off more. Nice eye for this Mark.

Mark,

I love it! Now sure what to call this genre, but we've all seen images that contain contradictions. Putting the humor aspect aside, good balanced comp.

I love cool signs ...... the images is of course well done but Kosta makes the point of the message in this image. This is good stock.

Haha, very cool.

I think you're dedication to this genre of images is now paying off, Mark. This is great. Almost about as far away from nature as you can get, but diversification is good for you.

I'd say that The Dalles can be pretty seedy based upon your series of images from there...

Good eye, Mark.

These alley photos of yours are interesting but think they would have more impact in B&W

Where do you find this crap? Looks like a fun place to let some creativity flow.

I think this is the best one so far. Nothin says warm and cozy like fake terra cotta and cinder blocks....

I agree about this being a good stock image. I can see it as a dry-humored greeting card or something of that nature. You never know what might sell.

Great line. The Dalles is full of this kind of stuff.

I'll try it in Black and White and report back.

This is about as close to black and white as I want to get.

I like the second work, Mark... talk about a confusing building back entrance!
