I can well imagine what it looks like, and even if technically well done, probably doesn't do a lot to "move" one! It does leave hope for duffers like me! Someday I may have an exhibit of my own! The poster who mentioned the ferns and peeling paint must not have seen Weston's photographs of peppers- the light, tonal range and shapes are absolutely fascinating, and beautiful. Evocative? they are almost pornographic! I do appreciate an image, even of a mundane object, if it gives me a new perspective, or way of looking at it. You should vindicate us, Tina! Put on a show! Greensboro is not that far from Charlotte, and I'd love to see some of your work for real and not limited to 72dpi! Best of Light!
