They can't make me sentimental, because the subject is not part of my past life experiences. The photos are well done and have emotional expression, but so thousands. Not enough uniqueness to make me excited. Boris Shoshensky

For me - old cars and dilapidated buildings provoke no special sentiment at all (except for occasional revulsion -- and I hate everything about Texas) -- but these photos excite me anyway -- for what might be called their design -- and the thrill of coincidence that such arrangements were found instead of assembled. And they certainly don't make me feel melancholy --- despite what any expert may say about photography. (though I did just see an exhibit of Karsh portrait photography -- and hated it -- as a stuffy, repulsive, depressing catalog of dead meat) ************** >You gave us examples of sentimental photography by not very creative, but naively impressionable mind.
