I went back and look, and decided it's better not to crop the pole, because of the horizontal wires. I would just burn the pole down a tad. Or just leave it alone. I would have thought the bit of the car on the front would bother me, as it's a bright spot at the edge of the photo, and you know how it tends to lead your eyes out of the photo and all that, but it just doesn't. Perhaps my first reaction to the pole is because it interferes with the car. - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of bdcolen > Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 7:34 AM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: RE: [Leica] PAWs > > > Thanks, Phong - Guys in foreground have a hammer in their hand...I > considered cropping the pole, and maybe should, but didn't because I > thought it added to the atmosphere... > > Overalls...he wears whatever he perceives as "cool" on a given day...but > to be fair, they were down there doing construction work in mud, rain, > and heat...:-) > > And,yes, he was there...he teaches two art classes = one for kids, one > for adults - at that church in Southie, and is about to spend a week as > a counselor at some camp they send kids to.
