I agree, Clif.  If that work is "sappy and sentimental", I'll 
certainly take it over some of the modern "cutting edge" stuff that 
has no feeling and communicates nothing.   A museum critic once 
referred to my work as "too accessible", but I want it to be 
accessible!  I want people to see what I saw and feel what I felt 
when I took the photo.  I don't want sophisticated art critics to 
have to search for hidden meanings.  Guess I'll never be in Aperture 
magazine ;-) (I usually end up throwing that one across the room 
unless they are featuring a retrospective of some kind!)   That's why 
I like Chim's work - it's "accessible" and powerful at the same time.
