John Palcewski: Thank you for your comments. I'm serious. I learn from comments like yours. Yes, this photograph, and much of my work is definitely manipulative. I knew that in the beginning and so did the subject. She signed a release and now has a print she proudly shows. In Pro Bono work rule #1 is, both sides must get value from the result. This week the print will go on exhibit in the hospital gallery so the hospital population gets to see one of their own acknowledged for past service. I get the opportunity to work and to exhibit. Showing work here gives valuable feedback that can be applied to future work. Well worth the trouble. Thanks again John. John Retallack JOHN __________________________________ jr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
