Hi! SB> And I agree as well. Only thing is, Boris keeps asking what SB> everyone else thinks, and there are a lot of opinions here, SB> including the opinion to not pay attention to other opinions <LOL>

I am perfectly happy about these two images. The guy with billiard balls (now, don't you dare to joke on this <g>) is good, to me at least, because I caught him in a very fine moment. He is pointing his finger and rather heatedly explains himself. Naturally, it has to be read this way. Which it wasn't. Which is a lesson. As for Beer Portrait - Frank read it exactly right and I really liked how it came out. By the way, this shadow of flash shadows a woman who did not quite wanted to be photographed. So it has its odd meaning too. But, there is big but here. Again, don't you dare joke on this <g>... I want to learn. I do shoot as much as I can. Like I mentioned 40 * 36 exp films in 2003. Just a little less than film a week. But I also want to hear opinions. I suppose that you guys don't mind telling me what you think. I will then process that in my head and shoot even more, and then may be come up with more questions... I sincerely hope, you don't mind <g>... Boris P.S. Lon, I would appreciate if you indeed elaborated on that: > If yout shoot a 50, you are stupid unless you read Mike Johnston. > But primes greater than f2.8 get Expensive. P.P.S. I do read Mike's column by the way...
