Had 8 pix on a fold out. And not a one that was about anything, at least in my aesthetic. They were the current trend of anti-photos, I suppose, no particular composition, the snapshot look, bad exposure and lighting. No POWER. No belief. No passion. Just a here's a picture of john looking at the camera. I guess she is starting to get a lot of jobs, so maybe I don't understand. But they look like self indulgence to me, taking by someone interested more in themselves than in the outside world. The same kind of pix beginning to show up in the trendy travel mags like Conde Nast Traveler. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
