Thanks! Oh, you mean Mark...You have it right in front of you there but you
relegate it to plain words.  Like one who asks a question and expects only a
yes or a no and is confused by an allusion which is less descriptive.
That's it. It carries more weight.

<<<<<There's such a thing as being too clear.
Clear Description is a heavy price to pay for pomposity.
Or the reverse.

We snap shutters. We stick the print in the developer.  Who are we trying to
impress beyond that?
We are not high level physicists. Let's get off this need for
presumptuousness.
We (photographers) don't need to impress anybody under a guise of
descriptive clarity.
There's always room for Jello. But there's not always room for Gelatin
Silver whatever.>>>>>
