And as >Susan Meiselas says - "far away is not a place." :-) My response had nothing to do with exotic or not. And "far away" has absolutely nothing to do with it. It was just my observation that the people in your photographs seemed more relaxed and less obviously aware of the camera after #81. That's just my opinion. It's not a criticism. All of your photos will be wonderfully received by the family. I just prefer the later photos and that's 1/4 of the photos! You turned my comments on your work into a criticism that I did not intend. I don't see anything in my comments that implies that local photographs are not interesting or fascinating. I just sympathized with the fact that you had 18 family members to work with and satisfy. That's what I don't envy. CHILL! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
