Seemed to have less artsy BS about it than many such stories. I found a couple of statements personally interesting: <You are not looking for something. You are open, receptive. At some point you are in front of something that you cannot ignore.> This is my favorite state for taking pictures, and maybe the reason I find myself addicted to it. It's a sort of meditative state. <One of Mr. Wessel's rules is to put his contact sheets away for a year before deciding which images to print. "If you let some time go by before considering work that you have done, you move toward a more objective position in judging it," he said. "The pleasure of the subjective, physical experience in the world is a more distant memory and less influential."> I certainly find myself looking at older images with a more detached and objective(?) eye after time has passed without looking at them. Picking a PAW today for a year or two ago might make and interesting exercise. Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/Passing-Fancies On May 21, 2006, at 4:33 PM, Robert D.
