Hello Stuart: Thanks for your comments. Could you elaborate? I suppose seeing them as prints when they look like watercolor paintings can be key but perhaps on a monitor it is not as rich. I've also found, and I'm not saying you in particular here, that the general public seems much more receptive to digitally enhanced work than those with knowledge of it. It's like a magician who can wow an audience but whose work is not admired by his peers. Since school I've found the opinions of the pedestrian who knows nothing about photography innately valuable since those are the majority who are viewing my work. I'm not saying I don't respect the opinions of my peers, just saying that I've come to realize there are two separate perspectives when getting feedback. I'm considering writing some articles for Arizona Highways here. Am glad you like the narratives because I feel that some really make the photos much richer with some explanation (the dog in the church for example or the bed). Some of the culture clashes have been so funny like the time I was sawing away at the corn husk on a Tamale and looked up as everyone around me was smiling knowing I had never eaten one. Wish I had a shot of that :) Regards, Dean -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stuart Goldman Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 6:42 PM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Re: Tohono O'odham Reservation Series Dean, I enjoyed the series and your narrative. I thought the "painterly effect" you added to some of the first photos did not work very well. The latter ones, where you captured the facial expressions and emotions of the people, were the strongest.
