Bob's comment made me laugh as the ponderous prose of the engadget blurb was ridiculous. To me, the theme of the set is somewhat limited. Most of the photos are technically good, but there's only so much interest to me in seeing people bent over their cell phones, texting. There's a sameness to the "shallow depth of field, blurred background" aesthetic being used becomes kind of boring since the subject matter isn't all that strong. I hope the broader conceptual theme of my Communicating series is evident in the photographs I've been showing. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.
