It seems like a kind of pageant you see in Medieval tapestries, where you see processionals or spectacle. The similar approach is in many of Breugels paintings, where there's no centralizing element. You were celebrating an important moment in your social life that is precious and you wanted to preserve. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using a few words along with the image so the viewers understand its significance. I'm not addicted to the dictum that images should speak for themselves. I like context. That's why we have captions designed into most of our word processors, image editing and page makeup applications. re: http://www.sonc.com/in_the_parish_hall.htm br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
