Absolutely ! By the same token, most people believe the way they like to be seen in a given circumstance is the way they really are. Who is to tell what they really are ? Maybe we just relate better to photos that confirm our preconceptions and prejudices. Take that infamous Time magazine cover of O.J. Simpson, for example. People who believe he is guilty of murder would think that is a good portrait; his fans would think it a lousy one. - Phong _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
