We have a special way of complaining here on the PDML, we simply ignore

what is the PDML but a microcosm of it, cats, flowers and pretty girls
are phases of development that you are allowed to dabble in, if you must,
then outgrow. That is if you are Serious About Photography. Landscapes
and street are among the few truly honourable destinations. Aberrant
photogs like Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Lillian Bassman, Sam Haskins:
all sad cases. Just think what they could have done if they hadn't gotten
stuck at the pretty girls in frou-frou gowns stage. Or in Sam's case,
nothing at all. Edward Steichen, that turncoat. Worst one of all; was
progressing just fine, then suddenly abandoned all that was good and
returned to frock-shots. We'll allow Edward Weston his foibles. At least
he was making pretty girls resemble conch shells, and vice versa. If I'm
lucky, I too will outgrow my present fascination with imaging expressions
of femininity. :-) Beware the siren call, Larry, lest you too start
looking for suitable LBDs and Fendi heels. Unless it's for yourself. I
understand that that's ok.

Don't go changin', Bruce.
I know you were being entertaining, but personally, I wouldn't mind seeing
more studio work on this list. And more of your hair shoot of course
