The best any of us can do is satisfy ourselves that our images are
what we intended, and then turn them loose in the world.  If a viewer
arrives at any new realization as a result, their work here is done.

Paul,

Can't help but agree. I do not usually "bare" my soul, but in order to try
to develop some style and perhaps emotion in my images, I try to put these
concepts into my "vision" before [and after] I take the shot. I do not
pretend that anyone will pick the abstract ideas, that I was hoping to
express [to myself], but then they may. No, by striving to express more in
the image, I hope the viewer may see more, even if it is not what I'd seen
in the first place. In fact, often others ideas of you original expressions
are even more interesting. Perhaps we cannot help but express ourselves in
our creative lives, its just that some people can communicate their ideas,
or what other people thought were their ideas ;-)

I'm beginning to babble, I'd best get back to work and try to work out
whether this woman has a pulmonary embolus. Sometimes interpretation of
these images requires just as much imagination and a good deal of faith. 

cheers
