Funny, but as much as I like my photos (sorry to sound immodest, and I know that on-list I usually do the self-deprecating humour thing, but I really do like my stuff <red face>), I don't usually have much emotionally invested in them. They tend to be impersonal to me, insofar as they're often of people that I'll never see again, or they're of friends or acquaintances in pretty much everyday situations - it's the situations that interest me, not the personalities. The photos that have emotional impact to me tend not to see the light of day (in terms of public viewing either on the 'net or an exhibit wall). Thanks for your thoughts, Cesar (and everyone else who responded and to whom I didn't specifically respond). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
