Why? Do you think I would only praise Em's work in private?
Do you think the review was too personal?

I don't just look at photographs. I eat them. Photographs are food for me.
And much like shopping for dinner, I am picky about what I eat.

That is why I don't review the gallery very often. I don't often see
anything that I care to consume. To let it become part of me. If I were to
compare photographs to wines, sometimes I can be drawn to a vintage because
I know the history of the vineyard. Such as the case of Chris's photograph
of his mother. I have a bit of history with this photographer and because of
that feel like I might have an insight as to the forces that weighed on his
finger as he pushed the shutter. And I have tremendous respect for those
forces and feel them to be a very positive thing in his case.

Everyone brings their own issues to the table when they view a photo. The
collision of all your life experiences blending with the intrusion onto the
back of your eyeball of a new visual/virtual experience creates something
new in the world. Sometimes that collision can effect growth, sometimes
decay. Sometimes 18% grey.
