Looks like it belongs in that book "Looking at Photographs" by John Szarkowski. I find that this shot being in the same forum as the color two kids in front of the fountain shot a little unnerving. To me THAT shot is not only NOT art. It DOESN'T WANT to be art. It's a family snapshot. A 4x6 taken out of a pile of 4x6's of ones family. I don't know those kids. I don't love them. I'm not in their family. Why am i looking at that picture? This picture in a way explains it as it shows us what we're aiming out. Is this kid Mr. Alday's son? I sure don't care. It's almost Weston-like. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
