Ok, color me confused. Our two most outspoken members, who are in no
uncertain terms here to educate us, provide us with two photographs with
which I find very little to commend. More fool me, I suppose. More down
below:

A very nice portrait. I find it a bit odd that they are looking in
different directions, but perhaps the girl is fascinated with the lights,
and Ali is looking at her parents. But really, I'm nitpicking; the
photograph is fascinating. I'm sure there is a great backstory, but the
photograph carries its own with out it. Absolutely my favorite photo this
week.

Well, I still don't know why. Nice tonalities, and it certainly looks like
this media brings back the simple wonderment of a picture appearing on an
emulsion. But the reason why the whisky, rum and unnamed bottle are there,
except for providing different shapes in the bottle study, eludes me.

An idyllic scene, to be sure, but the three boats compete with the three
houses for attention. It might be stronger without the mansions.
> Art Faul -
Well, except for the somewhat interesting structure with insulting
graffiti, I find this photograph uninteresting, very poorly composed, with
too much negative space, nothing in the negative space, and a distracting
tilt.
> Randy Little - Kelly
Hmm. Her face is badly lit and the hands are awkward. And with nothing
better to look at, the subject is her scarf. Was that your intent?
Really, I know that Randy and Jan/Art have *gobs* more experience than I
do (and probably more than I will ever have, considering that I am already
close to Jan's age), and I respect them for that, but I guess I wished the
photographs that they provided were more demonstrative of that experience
and talent.
