Amusing story, and I finally understand the point Lew is making (I had to think on it for a while). But I respectfully disagree. I recognize the difference in intentions but prefer more “substance” (don’t know what else to call it) rather than texture in photographs.

Yoram reminds me of my grandkids who have vacationed in the white sands of the Carribean. When they visit us up on the Cape, they can be swimming along merrily, but ask my son: "Where is the real water?"
This week's PhotoForum gallery is, on the average, very dark. Maybe the political scene has something to do with it? Anyway, quick comments on three of them. Before that, just have to say, I wish there were more comments/descriptions with the images. Images don't need titles, but background comments are often very interesting.

The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated with 7 new photographs on Oct. 11, 2020.
Authors with work now on display at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html include:
Lew Schwartz - Black Pond Road
Oooh. Dark. Great texture. . . I see this as a background for an old master painting but not so much a photograph as such..
John Retallack - Fools Boot
Also very dark. . . but here I would only get it as a study of light.
George Brown - IR experiment
Very interesting experiment, to see the shapes and textures of the greenery. (Hooray for black and white.). To me, the watermark is very distracting.
Also, I understand neither the Before and After flowers, nor the Nixon Mask. -yoram
