Simple Gestures

One distinguising mark of my photography from first frames, ,Jan. 1968 to presen,t has been my instinctive use of subject gestures as an accent or an adjunct to a shot that might otherwise be interesting. Special gestures can transform a good, interesting frame to a higher level. Here are a few older shots from my latest shooting period that I feel are transformed from good enough to much more interesting andthus,beter, by capturing subject gestures. Gestures may be movement, placement, attitude,or show in many other ways. See what gesture(s) you can find that increase the attractiveness and interest of a viewer. I think interesting gesture or gestures can greatly increase the viewer's attention for photos I've taken and chosen to show. If the'gesture' is interesting enough, itcan be like a flourish inmusic --and add panachetoascore. john (John Crosley)
