For me the first option "You are in awe" is nearer the truth than you might imagine. I never doubted at any stage from looking at your Paw shots than you were anything other than a successful professional photographer. I reasoned that the last thing you wanted or needed was to be told how good or bad your images seem to someone like me. I enjoyed the humour of the mannequins and the eroticism of the nudes (peanut butter excepted) but to state simple facts without further analysis seems to be frowned upon in this forum. A good example of this is http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly/lomohallway.jpg. This shot spooks the hell out of me but I don't know why, it's a hallway and it's green. What kind of critique is that for heavens sake? The point of this reply is that now I know you are not a professional I feel that I have let you down in some way by not telling you how much I enjoy your photographs. I'm putting that right now by letting you know I'm a bradywatcher. Graham http://geebeephoto.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
