Now that's a response I like!  Seriously.  Much better than:  this list is
banal, and applies to all of street photography since the dawn of time.

Von Trier has pointed out that the sole reason for the Dogme95 list is
discipline:  restrictions make for more rigorous art.  The actual content of
the list is of no consequence -- you could make your own set of rules which
are diametrically opposed to mine, and get the same benefits.

It's just an interesting experiment.  And hey:  I do photograph beautiful
women, and beautiful landscapes; that's my professional work.  (And up on
the site.)  This list simply applies to one far less commercial project.
