So, now I guess "Hell" is swearing. Oh damn... learn something every day.

Now I would like to know about the photographs that I've trashed. I'm old
and have a feeble memory. Maybe you could re-fresh me.

Oh I do remember one. I think.

I was a photograph of a bend in the road. From nowhere, to nowhere. If my
feeble mind remembers correctly. It had exciting color, or was it exciting
backlit contrast, or did it have a real center of interest, I'm having
difficulty remembering just what was so exciting about that photograph. And
since I cannot remember the others, they must be even more exciting.

Can someone help?

Thanks,

Jim
