By the way, I should have tried to get together with some of you SoCal folks, but it's hard for me to plan ahead when I'm out there. I never know when I'll have time off until the last minute or so. Mark Dalal and I did manage to meet on the Venice Pier a few years ago. Half an hour later I got a call to come into the studio. That's made me apprehensive about trying it again. But maybe next time.

I didn't see where Marnie indicated she found the beachwear shot offensive.
Her entire comment was "No comment on you know what."
I see (saw) nothing to apologize for in your California shots.
Of course, I see that all the time, living where I do, so it's nothing new to me.

Thanks Marnie,
I'm sorry you were offended by the shot of the young woman. However, I suspect you were more offended by some of the slightly off-color comments it provoked. I shoot some figure studies, very few of which have been displayed here, and I find the human body to be a very attractive subject. Although some here referred to the woman's garment as underwear, it is in fact a bathing suit. I didn't think the shot was particularly revealing or provocative, I just liked the composition of her body, her bag, and her hand with the cell phone. It suggested a kind of unashamed innocence to me. And of course it's very "Southern California." Again, I'm sorry if you were offended.

This is a terrific action shot. The way the water is cut, and the quieter
foam contrasted with the wilder spray. Good off-center composition too with nice
frozen action. This looks like a shot in a sports magazine.
Fantastic shot!
Marnie aka Doe No comment on you know what. Oh, the canyon with the rock
and shadows was nice too. ;-)
