Yup - nice window - similar to windows in Paris, NY, Boston, and I'll bet
even St, Petes....But it seems to me to be worthy of being considered the
work of the photographer, rather than the nightshirt maker, the photo has to
convey something special....In general, signs, shirts, etc., are 'cheap
shots.' I am not calling Dr. B, whose work I admire and whom I consider a
friend, a 'cheap shot' artist - as I said, I greatly admire his two previous
offerings, among others. But this one falls flat for me.
