Maybe it's what the current marketplace seems to want - but the people making the choices are probably using too much coke or something, and not the diet kind either. You do wonderful work, Tina. Go with what you do best which is make compelling images with soul. All the hacking around in PS or other stuff isn't making that better, it's getting in the way. It's like a writer over-thinking, over editing. I think you're on the wrong track. Of course the marketplace might be shouting other things and I don't have to answer to that demand . . . nor could my work stand up to it anyway.
