Simon, I agree - You also might recall that "ironic juxtaposition" got to be a rather overused pat phrase in reviews of art and theatre and such for a while(hmmm -maybe still is). I've already sent my entry in for December - but my files are replete with this subject so I thought I'd throw one in by way of illustrating a definition:) This is not a technically accomplished shot - I grabbed it riding an escalator at the Pompidou Center in Paris in 1981. Just enough time to raise camera and get off one shot.. um - exposure not recorded. Pentax LX 50 mm lens Tri-x here is the link: http://users.rcn.com/annsan/differences.jpg annsan
