I am amazed that Jerk. He's got no clues and even less eye. Kyle, I gotta admit, most of what you do doesn't do much for me... I just don't care for the subject matter or the style. Personal taste, no more than that, but, like Mapplethorpe and Friedlander and a bunch of others, I don't have to LIKE the work or even want to look at it to recognize that it took tremendous amounts of time, effort, skill, and creative talent to generate the stuff... and regardless of my opinion, that kind of effort deserves, at least, respect and the level of courtesy that gets to "say nice or say nothing." Be a bloody damn boring thing to do if we all made the same images the same way, wouldn't it? But y'know, this is the curse of technology... everyone's an expert now that you don't have to understand bupkis about how it works.... Herk. -- R.
