When we, known as "REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS" find ourselves in a somehow entrapped
situation as this absolutely ridiculous "BS" potatoe image nonsense?

My goodness I can't believe I've allowed myself to become trapped into it
again?

We can only save ourselves from becoming screaming out of mind lunatics by?
"DELETE the IMAGE IMMEDIATELY" go outside and have a damn good "THROW-UP!"
Not sure it'll improve your photography? But it'll get that idiot and his
SO-CALLED POTATOE?" Off your mind for a few minutes!  

cheers my friends,
and have a nice afternoon and evening.  :-)
cheers Dr.ted.

If this should continue to give you grief & pain???  Take two aspirin and
call or e-me tomorrow morning after 10 a.m, Thank you.

The Harry Gruyaert book that was mentioned here a couple of months ago 
finally arrived at my local library having been winged over from some other 
branch in Dublin. I collected it this morning and before looking at the 
images contained in it, I read the foreword. My god, it is prententious 
codswallop written by someone who is firmly up his own arsehole, as well as 
poor Gruyaert's. I'll look at the pictures later as the fierce afternoon low

winter sunlight is making it hard to swim through the full appreciation 
demanded by Gruyaert's dance through both nature's and life's scintillating 
colour wheel....

Jaysus, it's catching...
