Well, now that you mention it, I wonder why I spent so much on my portfolio back
in the old days? I could have shown 3x4 snaps and been judged by them. Or I
could have shown up for interviews wearing clothes I had just changed the oil in....

Hey, if you think that cutting off heads is deliberate, then you didn't
click on any of the links and view the photos in their entirety. It really
cracks me up how some people on this list have judged another's work based
on looking at thumbnails. Would you like your work to be judged on that
basis? And, more to the point, criticized on that basis?

Ge, even with a view camera he can not avoid cutting off peoples heads.
Snapshots taken with an 8x10 are still snapshots. Taken with a 35mm they

be poorly done snapshots. With an 8x10 they are pretentious poorly done
snapshots.

Well, I think it's deliberate, I think. ;-) But basically I agree --
snapshots.
Interesting, shel, but...
He also dead centers everyone. I don't find anything engaging about that.
Though it is an intriguing idea, taking a photo of a stranger a day.
