Jostein beat me to that line; I was about to say that one man's cliche is another man's art... I watch in fascination as my son would go "ewwwwwww" whenever the Rugrats or Dora the Explorer would come on TV when years earlier he devoured those shows. I muse about how certain things fascinated me back then but I presently consider cliche (okay...flowers). I use the "presently" because I know that is a momentary whim--someone or something would come along to inspire me to take up taking flower photos again sooner or later. The past months have been busy but I was mostly taking photos of stuff I considered boring--other people's events (which I call "people-getting-drunk-shots"). Jostein dropping into the Philippines was a break, it was an excuse to shoot sunsets again... -- Bong Manayon http://www.bong.uni.cc -- 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.
