Those are excellent environmental portraits, Chinney. I wish my parents had taken such sensitive and interesting photographs of my siblings and me when I was that age. Your daughters will find them fascinating in the future - and so will you, of course (if a hard drive crash doesn't eat the photos long before then!).

julesstoop: I especially like your shots of the steel mill. A couple of comments:

2. I think human scale would add a lot to this one.

4. Agree with pscates2.0 that this one's great. I think it works because you've found order in the seeming chaos.

9. Almost looks like a canon! The graffiti robs it of the dignity that 10 has…

10. This one's suddenly majestic in the series, because you can clearly see the horizon; but I don't think it's quite as strongly composed as some of the others.

Nice series though!

Anyone with an interest in black and white photography will find this article at The Online Photographer fascinating. It charts the life of Voja, one of the great printers in the famous Picto lab in Paris, as told by none other than Peter Turnley.
