Um. I don't know. 

They don't do anything for me emotionally either...but I still have this
urge to print them at 30x40 on metallic paper.

Re: Me and Bobby McGee

2004-01-26 Thread Shel Belinkoff
Absolutely, Mark ...

I've been shooting scenes through rain streaked windows and windshields for
years.  In fact, the very first photos I took, with some kind of little
"box" camera, was through the rain spattered windshield of the family car at
night ... photographing street lights.  They didn't turn out too well.

One of the reasons I used the digi that night was because I couldn't get the
pics I wanted at the Hotsy Totsy Club, and I needed some instant
gratification.  Ben & Jerry's would have worked, too, but I was too far from
the B&J shoppe

But seriously - would you have taken that shot with a film camera?

True, yet you passed judgment without an explanation.  So, imo, it's not a
critique, just an opinion.  And there's nothing wrong with expressing an
opinion, nothing at all.  In fact, you yourself note that your comments were
just an opinion.

BTW, thanks for you far more in depth critique ...
