http://www.artreview.com/photo/album/listForOwner only works to view your own albums, so I can't see what you intended..

Best

At 2:51am on 4th May 2008, Thomas Ziorjen said…: Kika, thank you so much for your kind words about my work. Much appreciated. You're doing beautiful work yourself. It seems we like some of the same things -- the way that raindrops on a windshield break up the light, motion blur, etc. So nice to meet you.

At 4:10pm on 20th March 2008, Jonathan Moss said…: Thanks for your comment - sorry it's taken a while to get back to you, been finishing a series of prints based on the videos.

The videos are made in HD which, at the moment, automatically reverts to standard when I burn the discs - HD burners are still too expensive over here in archaic Europe, I'm planning to get one soon though.

Saw my work projected on a wall in an exhibition over Christmas, the dark images were almost imperceptible, either it was not dark enough in the gallery or the projector's contrast was not powerful enough - it's made me rethink the tone and contrast of my work as I cannot guarantee a venue's technical capabilities.

Your work looks very interesting.
