[Leica] Photo Group Blurb

[donlaw at mac.com (Don Lawrence)]

Jayanand,
Great observation. You absolutely right, few people photos. It maybe that 
the nature of the people involved (architects, designers) tended to choose 
graphically stimulating subjects.
I was a contibuting editor to this book and very few people photos made the 
edit. 
However, most of the photos I take are of people. 
I do a personal PAW project every year where I take one picture each week of 
each of my family members. So lots of photos of people, but mostly not of 
strangers.
Regards
Don

Don,
I just went through the preview, and one thing struck me almost immediately
- the vast majority of photographs are of inanimate objects - no human
presence at all. It leaves me feeling that the book is very impersonal and
cold; it seems to lack an emotional centre. Why are most photographers so
chary of photographing other human beings?
Cheers
Jayanand
