I sniffed around to find the original of The End. The new look is a lot better. ReCongratulation.

My first ever. :-) The show was mainly pottery, jewelry, and painting, and about only four photographers. One guy used medium format and did landscapes -- breathtakingly beautiful. Well, he was in his twenties and willing to lug that large thing around, thus I barely envied him. (Barely ;-)) So I was glad to sell one. And it was my biggest and highest priced one too. Also my most "artified," the only photographic I put in the show. I was wondering how that would go over, and evidentially at least one person really liked the idea. I also mentioned it was The End that I showed on list, oh, about 6-8 months ago. Several liked it back then as a straight photo (well, not totally straight, I had B&W converted it and left some areas color). But I also got a fair amount of technical criticism on it, not sharp enough. So I went back to reshoot it and found they had changed the sign, which really nixed reshooting it. So I artified it more to cover up any lack of sharpness and because I had a mental image of the way I would like it to be. Actually this is still not the way I'd like it to be -- I'd like it even more B&W as in almost a combo of high and low key, etc. But it comes closer than the original did. Someday I will rework it again. Tim, or someone, said they'd like to see what sold. So here it is: http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/theend2.htm It was shot when my mother was ill. I also included in the show my Mom grief series, the Mohave Joshua Tree, the Yosemite B&W/color combo shot, and a few others I've shown previously on list. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/KIDDO/index.htm http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/mohavesky.htm http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/postcard.htm http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/magic.htm http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/joy.htm Comments are not really necessary unless you want. Because, other than newbies, most of you have seen them before. But no yucking, please. I know a lot of you like you photography straight up -- no water, no ice, no mixing.
