Just goes to prove you can't displease everyone. For "Jennifer in Repose" I actively chose not to read anything about the photo before viewing it. As such, I viewed it without expectation or preconception. There's a mystery and tension in the image (Who is she? Why is she leaving? Is she upset?) as well as an unusual but pleasing balance to the image. I'd happily have the photo on a wall and spend a lifetime pondering those questions whenever I saw it. There are so many images out there that are technically excellent, have high resolution, full tonal range and all the other measurements that can be made, but in the end are just derivative uninspired dross. Very few inspire the viewer or encourage any sort of engagement. "Pirate Jenny in the Spotlight" is obviously a performer on stage. I like it, but that's as far as it goes. Can she sing? ...Just goes to prove you can't please everyone either. :-) Simon -----Original Message----- From: frank theriault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 1 December 2004 8:27 AM To: PDML Subject: PAW - PESO - Pirate Jenny in the Spotlight I wasn't going to post this one for a while, but since everyone (with a few exceptions) didn't think much of last night's (Jennifer in Repose, or whatever I called it <g>), I couldn't resist posting this one, taken from the same concert. I don't know if it will be more or less liked by others, but I rather like it: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2923088 Of course, if you don't like it, that's just fine and dandy, please let me know what you think anyway! (and thanks in advance, if you do look or comment). I've one more to show later (maybe my next PAW, haven't decided), and although I quite like it, I ~know~ it won't meet with much approval here <vbg>. Anyway, lemme know what you think of this one. thanks, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
