[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Don't worry Ted, I have now narrowed my selection down to 14 images and plan to choose the final 2 during Christmas, so I have revised my original plan to wait until 23.59 on New Year's Eve. Let Jim and John enjoy the evening in peace. My decision revolves around whether I want geographic consistency (the 14 pictures are from Spain, Denmark, the UK and Poland), thematic consistency (however defined), and of course the all-important B&W vs. color question. I need a couple of days to agonize over these choices, but I will get there, as I have in all previous editions of this book.
