Now, I don't need to ask. I have been wondering and was about to ask, why some works were not included. Since it seems that only a very few were excluded, it must not be due to a limited number of pages. Building coherency into such a project would seem an extremely subjective venture. Also, one that would not be apparent to most. I had assumed that the two images submitted by each photographer would appear on adjacent pages. While certainly not disappointed, I really didn't care, but was somewhat surprised that was not the usual case. I have to say that I did wonder, for a second or two, if a "jury" might be involved. If that were to happen, it would be fine with me.
