Some of us like one kind of photo and some like another. I like photos of people so usually peeling paint and landscapes don't do a whole lot for me. I also don't care that much about equipment and which lens and what film. On the other hand, I love GeeBee's landscapes and never miss looking at one. And Doug's photos of animals are exceptional. Sonny's daily life photos of his community will live on after all of us are gone. And Steve's hospital photos of children make us feel truly blessed. I love them all for different reasons. I don't always comment because I don't know what to say about most of the photos. That doesn't mean they have no worth. Somebody else might think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Who am I to disagree! If I don't like a photo, I can just click delete and go on. It only takes a second or two and it's not a waste of time to see what everybody else is seeing. I sometimes talk to the computer and say "What? Why did he post that one?" but even that is part of my education in photography. Who posted what and why? On the average, I think this list posts much better photos than most. What more can you ask? I'm proud to be a part of this "all-boys" camera club and hope nobody ever gets their feelings hurt because I don't comment on their photos. I'm here and I'm looking. I enjoy them all.
