Fun shot! The sculptures by the sea look really interesting (and well-photographed by you!). That would have been a fun exhibition to see in person. As for the nekkid boy on the beach controversy - well, ~that's~ political correctness and censorship run amok! Kudos to the artist for removing the shorts. ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
