Hey, Dean Doc, or Doc Dean :-)  - Whatever Kyle's motives, he is:

1 - A serious and regular contributor to the few rational discussions on the
LUG;

2 - Far and away one of the best photographers/artists on the LUG;

3 - One of the most amusing contributors to the LUG;

4 - The man who gave us the PLUG 10 Commandments, which we could all benefit
by following at least part of the time.

Judge his images as images, and don't worry about whether or not he is
laughing up his sleeve. Hell, I'll give Picasso and half the stars of the
modern art world the benefit of the doubt and assume - pray - that they're
laughing up their sleeves. ;-)

I'm a bit ambivalent on Kyle's images of late. After the revelation that he
initiated PAW as a cruel joke, I have difficulty taking his images
seriously. I suppose his credibility has been compromised in my mind, and
anything out of the ordinary (like this goth girl) seems a bit tainted.

Practical jokes are not a good idea when one wishes to be taken seriously.
I'm glad you are pleased with the image, but I tread cautiously around Mr.
Cassidy. :-(
