Re: My PAWs Weeks 1-3
Hi! Eac Later we were turned away at the door of the photography show, supposedly Eac because I hadn't RSVPed. Excuse me, what is it to be RSVPed? Eac So shel and I retreated to comfortable and jean-friendly Berkeley Eac for some great Thai food. I can relate to that... Eac Week #1 is dedicated to shel because he suggested that shot (and knew of a Eac great Thai restaurant). Funny you know, but in Israel most pay phones are taken off the streets. Everyone now has at least one cell phone... Eac Week #2 just struck my fancy. My first and immediate reaction was shrug... But I've just taken some photographs that would cause others to shrug. So I'd close my mouth about now g... Eac Week #3 is dedicated to frank, because I was trying to be like him Eac (unsuccessfully -- shot in color and later grayscaled). Marnie, is a slight lack of focus intentional here? Sorry, Frank, I couldn't quite resist that... Eac I don't think any of them are fantastic or my best work or anything, but I Eac still welcome any and all reactions/comments. I have one comment only. Marnie, I humbly ask of you - could you please post a little larger images. You know, 600 or so pixels on larger dimension. I think PS defaults to 320 the way you seem to have used it. But it can be digged out in options and set to whatever value there needs to be. Eac Marnie aka Doe ;-) I've resolved to calling you by your name, if you don't mind g...

Even when people meet me in person, they can yell Doe across a crowded room and I'll turn my head. I've been using that handle so long on the Internet it feels like a second name. But since Marnie is my real name (well, not really, it's a nickname I acquired about 30 years ago), I answer to it too. ;-) Marnie otherwise known as Doe otherwise known as some birth name she that will not reveal P.S. Playing with self renaming can be fun. s

Re: My PAWs Weeks 1-3
From the French. Respondez, S'il Vous Pla, or some thing like that (I only had one semester of French in Jr High which I flunked). Literally, respond, if you please. Means Let us know if you plan to attend, or Response is required. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eac Later we were turned away at the door of the photography show, supposedly Eac because I hadn't RSVPed.

Re: My PAWs Weeks 1-3
I am reposting this because someone told me it didn't show up on the list. Sorry if you get duplicates. Okay, here are my first three PAWS (I may go up to week 12 like ERN, or just week 5). I haven't scanned for about two months and when I went to scan I found I had lost all my software settings. So everything scanned in blue and dark. I have made some adjustments, but still not quite there yet, so bear with. Earlier this month shel and I met for the first time. We went to San Francisco to took photographs and attend later that evening a show by my former photography teacher (exhibiting along with two artists). I used shel as my front man as I tried my hand at street photography. I figured I might lose some self-consciousness shooting with someone else. I did somewhat, but I still only shot a few people and only one turned out half way decent. Later we were turned away at the door of the photography show, supposedly because I hadn't RSVPed. Although I had the invitation (addressed to me) with me, knew my teacher (of course), and we were both carrying camera bags. Evidentially last year a show in that building (ritzy office building with big gold door and security guard) was crashed by homeless looking for free food. We promised not to eat or drink, but... obviously it was a bad decision to choose to wear jeans that night. ;-) So shel and I retreated to comfortable and jean-friendly Berkeley for some great Thai food. Week #1 is dedicated to shel because he suggested that shot (and knew of a great Thai restaurant). Week #2 just struck my fancy. Week #3 is dedicated to frank, because I was trying to be like him (unsuccessfully -- shot in color and later grayscaled). I don't think any of them are fantastic or my best work or anything, but I still welcome any and all reactions/comments. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/ Marnie aka Doe ;-)
