I suggested having an "ugly subject" month. The idea was, to photograph a subject that you felt most people would not find attractive -- be it human, landscape, mechanical device, whatever -- and try to actually show your skills as a photographer -- instead of trying to impress everyone with your personal taste in pretty girls, or your adoration of cute, adorable, children or cute, fuzzy, house pets. Absolutely no one was interested in my idea. No one wanted to concentrate on the photography itself, instead of on the relative beauty of the subject, not even for just one evening.
take care, Glen ========= Actually, that's a good idea. Marnie aka Doe But it's easier to photograph kitties.
