I certainly "get" that feeling! When I've done my reviews, I take a simple, direct approach -- I give my opinion, and what I'm able to access of the reasons behind it. I'm not holding myself out as qualified to teach a class in the aesthetics of modern photography, but in the context of reviewing gallery posts here, I don't feel that's the required level of expertise. And I'm willing to take the risk of people deciding I have Neanderthal artistic sensibilities (so far, anybody who thinks that has been kind enough not to mention it explicitly). When I've submitted pictures for the gallery, I find that kind of response useful, too. > There are often photos or painting or sculptures > or mobiles or what ever that "people" are raving > over that when I look at them I just don't see the attraction. I have sometimes, I believe, simply said a work was outside my conceptual range and I couldn't comment on it. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
