My bad.
Apologies to Butch, the photographer, for not properly identifying you as the culprit <vbg>
Thanks for setting me straight, Lon. Appreciate it.
And, I agree with your ideas.
cheers, frank

Frank, I didn't take the bleak landscape you're referring to. My PUG shot was entirely different. I can understand the mixup.
My post was the result of an association between the picture you commented on and an idea I've been evolving. I'm getting interested in soft, unscreaming, even boring (at first glance) pictures that wear well with time as opposed to having a kind of Intensity Shock Value. And I'm looking now, often, for precisely such shots.
I believe, if one specialized in such, one might, for example, hook up with Interior Decorators to supply "tasteful, understated wall hangings" in color. B&W photography typically wears better than color on the wall, at least for me, and I think my approach might help rectify that.
Just an idea I'm kicking around.
