Well, I like them. Of course, I know zip about rock climbing, so bad style or whatever is lost on me. They just look like a bunch of good-looking people, who are fit, and doing something that I couldn't do in a million years, because I have absolutely no upper body strength. As photographs (and not necessarily as rock-climbing training tools), I think they're all very good. Not that I blame Stan and Ryan, who know a thing of two about climbing, for their reactions. The same thing happens to me when I look at portrayals of bicycle racing in the media. One can always tell when non-cyclists are doing it. Even worse, is watching a tri-athlon. I can't believe what horrible form these guys and gals have on their $5000 bikes, even some world class tri-athletes. "Spin, people, spin!! You call that an aero-tuck?!? Stop moving your upper body!" <vbg> As usual, wonderful photos, Dario cheers, frank cheers, frank -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
