Colen reads my mind This morning I sent the following message to Nathan/LUG: "Thank you, Nathan, If the kindergarten picture doesn't tell you a story it means that it is not as good/universal as it should be. For me the significance of this picture bases on fact that the cold composition contrasts with what I would expect from the place: joy, noise, a lot of running children... the lack of children scares me.(...) I'm not trying to explain the picture - I'm trying to name my feelings.(...) Adam" But the message is lost... I'll try to recover my previous messages and send them again. Thank you both for your opinions!
