I honestly have not thought about my 'best' of the year, but if I did I would have to think about this one: http://www.streetphoto.net/paw2003/wk24.html It is totality original, has plenty of mystery about who is in the box, why is the Rabbi sitting, and it says something about where we all end up. Interestingly, I got almost no comments on this picture. Regards, sl > > >> Steve: >> >> Your 30 and 31 are two very solid shots, the 31 more so.
