The question isn't whether or not to show photos of the people in our lives
- the question is whether to show plain old snap shots on a photography
list. Let's show photos of the people in our lives, by all means. But given
that we have come together as photographers, and given that we do offer up
photos for criticism, it makes little sense to offer up photos one wouldn't
dream of offering up as something representative of one's skill...
