Well, Martin, I, on the other hand, don't like her work because I feel it is
self-indulgent twadle; nothing but art school crap, really. But that's my
educated, informed opinion!;-)

Thank you for your thoughtful criticism. It seems that many of
the comments regarding individual photographers/artists, showing
up on this list, get put forth without much substance. I
appreciate hearing the whys and wherefores, "I don't like his/her
work becauseŠ".
