(snip) Jeez, what are we going to do?=A0 Round up Christian and burn him at the = stake because of his reaction to the esteemed Mr. Welch's photos?=A0 Christian = merely stated his personal reaction to Eric's photos.=A0 He never said Eric was = a crappy photographer or that he himself was one of the worlds foremost imagemakers.=A0 Also, if I'm not mistaken, English is not Christian's pri= mary language; you or I might have worded our reaction a little differently.=A0= Give the guy a break.Although I enjoy many of Eric's images and am glad he sha= res them, I feel no obligation to be moved by his work because he is a professional and has been recognized by his peers. I don't think it's right to jump in someone's s***t just because they don= 't have a positive reaction to a photographer's work and say so. Regards, Mike Gardner
