I liked your photo; I can't say I could 'read' a story from it, but it's a wonderful capture of a quizzical moment. (Surely the sort of thing where photography can never be rivalled by painting?) I understand the 'cliche' point - if you are not particularly interested in jazz musicians, one of their portraits may look much like any other, just as someone not interested in flowers may feel the same about _another_ floral pic. But please keep sending them in - there is much in the gallery worth looking at; I'm afraid I'd give Greg's yellow thingy a raspberry, but even that doesn't mean it's not worth looking at. Thanks to everyone for keeping this going. Brian Chandler ---------------- geo://Sano.Japan.Planet_3 Jigsaw puzzles from Japan at: http://imaginatorium.org/shop/
