If you post a picture of a Chevrolet, Paul, and I prefer Alfa Romeos, wouldn't it be ridiculous for me to look at your picture and say, out of the blue, "Well, I'd rather look at a photograph of an Alfa Romeo, but the light is nice."
Looking at a well done photograph of a man, saying "I'd rather the subject was female" is a sexist remark. What the fuck is wrong with looking at a nicely made photograph of a handsome man and complimenting the photographer without prejudice regarding the sex of the subject? Or rather, why on earth would you think you have to make such a remark? It's a stupid thing to say. What you like or don't like, what you prefer, has NOTHING to do with the photograph or the photographer, or any critique of same. It's no wonder that the cormorant is the Official Bird of the PDML. ='-P Godfrey On Jan 22, 2008, at 7:06 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > Ditto.
