home⋅ly [hohm-lee]
–adjective, -li⋅er, -li⋅est.
1.lacking in physical attractiveness; not beautiful; unattractive: a homely child.
2.not having elegance, refinement, or cultivation.
3.proper or suited to the home or to ordinary domestic life; plain; unpretentious: homely food.
4.commonly seen or known.
??? Maybe you meant definition #4?
Well, the rest of what you said was very nice. You should look harder, the colours (I did that for you) and patterns are there. If you look at Clown Stripes and Right On, those are both from Tuscany–not exactly the type of place for bright colors and bold geometries. I think the difficulty is that the things I photograph are things that most people have trained themselves to ignore and it is difficult to remove that filter. Some of my subjects are less than a foot across. So you have to look pretty hard sometimes.

There’s something so Americana about your work, it’s gorgeous and alluring, homely and friendly as all the best Americana is.
I’ve looked out for similar colours and patterns here in London, but I’m not sure they are here.

I have a different definition of homely to those dictionary definitions, which is interesting. I meant homely in the sense of the German word gemutlikeit - a sense of warm, friendly, cosy-ness.
Maybe ‘down-home’ is an American way of saying it?
Those definitions surprise me, in fact, especially #1 and #2…
Grant Hamilton
I didn’t think you were saying anything unflattering…
I agree that there is an “Americana” sort of pop-culture thing happening.

I’m just more surprised that I’ve been using homely wrong all these years… :)
