>D.L. Shipman
>Betty's Rose: This is a pleasing photograph. It has a 3-D quality - due
>to the dark background, I think. Nice detail. I feel as if I could
>actually touch the petals and feel their velvetiness (did I just invent a
>word?).
>
>Deen Hameed
>Light On Water: I, too, am fascinated by the reflections and movement of
>water playing on rocks and sand. It has kind of a poetic feel to it,
>doesn't it? This photograph says "peace and tranquility." I like it.
>
>John Lee
>Leap!: Since your description doesn't say - are we to assume this is a
>self portrait, John? {;-> Whether it is or not, it's a delightful
>photograph. I like the fact that the subject is going out of the frame.
>It gives a feel of the joy and playfulness of running through the
>sprinkler.

>Christopher Strevens
>Dorking Cemetery: I see the irony of the juxtaposition of the restaurant
>sign and the cemetery. I can't quite tell that the scene behind the sign
>is a cemetery, though, and wouldn't have known without your description.
>Perhaps the photograph could be taken from a higher angel (you do carry 20
>foot ladders everywhere with you, don't you, Chris?) then the headstones
>would be more visible.
>
>King/Arthur
>Kieran's Irish Pub: I thought this was comical and interesting. The
>message of the photograph(s) actually says a lot. How such a small and
>simple change (removing glasses) can give a totally different perspective
>on something.
>
>Greg Fraser
>Siesta: Nice textures and design. This photograph shows a portrait does
>not always have to be "face on" to be affective.
>
>Jose Luis Vasconcellos
>The day my father died: When first viewing this photograph, and before
>reading your description, Jose, I knew it showed death and not just someone
>taking a nap. I was a little shocked, although I don't know why. I see
>death in the newspapers and on newscasts everyday. Maybe I was shaken
>because we don't see it in the Photoforum gallery, often. Now I've had
>time to think about the image, I find it touching and revealing. My take
>is that you wanted to share a very important and personal moment with us,
>Jose. Thank you for trusting us with your feelings.
>
>David Small
>Long May They Wave: A great photojournalistic (my take on the subject)
>shot. I can see this in the newspaper or in Newsweek.
>
>Jeff Spirer
>Homage to Don Manuel: Photographically I like all the textures and tones
>in this image. Feeling-wise I think this photograph denotes your sadness
>and respect for the artist this photograph pays homage to. You achieved
>what you were after, Jeff.
>
>Bob Talbot
>Nature Abstract: I have no idea what this is, Bob. Will you please let us
>in on the subject matter? Photographically it is well done and very
>interesting - in other words, a successful image.
>
>Angela Turnpaugh: This slice-of-life photograph shows exactly how a group
>of 12 year-old boys would look while learning to line dance. I can almost
>read their minds by looking at the expressions on their faces.
>
>Rob Miracle
>Falling Falls Fall: Don't be so hard on yourself, Rob. This is a very
>nice photograph. I like the way you used the tree branch as framing; you
>got the colors of the trees and brush , their reflections in the water, and
>the feel of falling water. If it were my image, I'd have brightened the
>orange and yellows of the trees and brush a little. The slight curve in
>the scene gives the image an expansive feel.
>
>Thank you to all who shared their work and to Andy and his hard-working
>staff for hanging the exhibit.
>
>Marilyn Dalrymple
