Jeffery,

I'm trying to think of something useful to say in the way of constructive 
criticism, something that might help you, but I can't think of 
anything...you're doing so well...I think you're right on track.  I 
appreciate the straightforward, documentary nature of your choices...this 
is not a case where one would want to go overboard with ultra-wide angle 
lenses, etc, etc.

A few faves from this group:

http://www.400tx.com/9th-50.html  I'm very partial to these car/tree 
comparisons, as I mentioned before.

http://www.400tx.com/9th-48.html  Detail of church pews with strong shadows 
is very nicely done, especially with the caption, which helps me to 
understand it.  I think finding both details such as this as well as the 
wider shots is important.

http://www.400tx.com/9th-52.html This one is (if you'll forgive the word in 
this context) beautiful.  The way the light hits the house draws my eye 
right to the wave-like pattern of the disrupted siding, and only after that 
do my eyes find the upside down pickup truck peeking out.  I find these 
photos that combine beauty with such horrible destruction to be more 
powerful than the destruction shots alone.

Well done, and thanks for showing,
Aaron
