[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hey, Dean Doc, or Doc Dean :-) - Whatever Kyle's motives, he is: 1 - A serious and regular contributor to the few rational discussions on the LUG; 2 - Far and away one of the best photographers/artists on the LUG; 3 - One of the most amusing contributors to the LUG; 4 - The man who gave us the PLUG 10 Commandments, which we could all benefit by following at least part of the time. Judge his images as images, and don't worry about whether or not he is laughing up his sleeve. Hell, I'll give Picasso and half the stars of the modern art world the benefit of the doubt and assume - pray - that they're laughing up their sleeves. ;-) B. D. B.een D.igging Kyle's work for as long as he's been posting. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Jeffery L.Smith Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 6:19 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Kyle's Fine Art I'm a bit ambivalent on Kyle's images of late. After the revelation that he initiated PAW as a cruel joke, I have difficulty taking his images seriously. I suppose his credibility has been compromised in my mind, and anything out of the ordinary (like this goth girl) seems a bit tainted. Practical jokes are not a good idea when one wishes to be taken seriously. I'm glad you are pleased with the image, but I tread cautiously around Mr. Cassidy. :-( JLS (I'm getting to enjoy this abbreviated name nonsense) Jeffery L.
