I don't get it. The underwater ones are nice but most of the others look like snapshots. The ones on her website http://www.in-public.com/autiofolio.html all look underexposed and too contrasty. Can somebody explain why these photos are exceptional? Tina >> I liked the work on her website. They are dark and rather mysterious. Since there are many this way, I suspect it's intentional rather than a faulty meter. I'm not sure about how exceptional they are as a body of work unless I got to compare with others in the competition..... This award was intended to aid modern photojournalism and I readily admit I know little about the trends of modern photojournlism. But this work seems to fly in the face of traditional, straight, WYSIWYG, type stuff. Quite frankly I like some of the stuff she's doing in her photos to ..."tell a story." But I wonder how traditional PJs would view this or pj work that is in this ilk. - -kim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
