And it doesn't matter if it is a happy snap home photo or a $30,000 original, after awhile they become part of the wall paper and just fall from your view. Like you, I love to sit and look through one of the books when the mood strikes me and then it is a special occaision. One of my favourits is "75 Years of Leica Photography". I use it for enthusiasm pumping or sometimes after an extra stress day of dealing with visually challenged editors. :) It allows me to loose myself in another world and relax. I guess the single malt scotch helps also! :) And because you don't see them daily, you never loose the appreciation for the contents and in many ways you see new pictures each time you open them. ted Victoria, Canada http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
