Actually, I appreciate Jerry's being honest and forthright in his assessment. I was soliciting opinions and critiques, after all. If he thinks the pictures are dull, that's his right. And I'm glad he chose to share his opinion. Sonny: >Six and seven are my favs. Six, because of the formal way you presented the >shot, and seven, because it has so much going on it in. (6) http://canid.com/sf_temp/old_reflecting_new.html (7) http://canid.com/sf_temp/old_mill.html Thanks. Those are my favorites, too. Phong: > I wonder if Eric prefers to live closer to nature. I do enjoy being in a small town. What's really funny to me is that the people who were born here consider it to be a big city. Granted, it's the largest city in the state, but we're a 4 hour drive from the nearest Leica dealer. :) > All in all though, especially 7, shows very careful composition. Eric, do you like Joel > Meyerowitz ? Thanks. I'm not familiar with his work, but I did find his website. I do like what I've seen so far.

I don't believe it's been around that long. From my understanding, it caused quite a ruckus, and some locals thought it should be wearing a fig leaf. Oh the horrors of having a naked statue! :) Gene: >Wait a minute, guys...Remember this is Sioux Falls, there are probably no >more than 3 people there in the first place. ;-) Over the weekend, we had our first homocide of the year. A couple drunks got in a fight and one ended up stabbing the other. You can't completely get away from it all, but in the last city I lived, the first homocide was measured in hours after New Year's instead of in months. So that figure should now be reduced to 2... :) Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
