Dear Douglas,

You have an emapthy with/for Whitby (built up I imagine over many years) that
means that there is something about the photos that you take ther that has a
very definite sense of place.

That being said I am not sure that this lot couldn't have done with a bit of
editing. Some of these have been shown before, and I thought the same at the 
time.

I would love to see you put together (on the LUG Gallery for preference) an
"exhibit" of what **you** think are the best of your Whitby shots. Part of 
what
is particular about them, I think,  is that they form a document which offers
another dimension of "value" in a photograph. It's your personal view that
interests. It's a different perspective on the commercial activity of the 
town
from FMS's, but nonetheless fascinating.

Regards,

Peter
