Jeanie Mac - he followed it on purpose!
Great link tho, ta.

Interesting (to me) points:
Spanish on the sign. Nebraska? Blimey.
His decision never to include random people in his photos - comes across as an invasion of privacy thing rather than an artistic decision. Okay I'm nowhere near his level of talent - he may exhibit professionally for all I know - but it never occurred to me there was anything wrong in having people in photos. I mean, they're not doing anything wrong. Just walking down the street. Hmmmm.

If I'm not taking a picture of a person, then the person is in the way of what I'm trying to take the picture of. I spend a lot of time waiting for people to get out of the way.

[aging ingenue]Would I be in your way?[/aging ingenue]

xoxoxoBruce · 02-07-2009, 01:41 PM

No, 'cause if you were around, it would be you I was taking pictures of.

Well, maybe a random artsy shot of your clothing strewn about the room.

BigV · 02-07-2009, 04:21 PM

dar, if you return to the upper left hand corner in the winter again, I'd be happy to put together "enjoy pleasant weather" and "winter camping" for you.

Awwwww, great pics V.
You look like you swallowed the sun.

Elspode · 02-09-2009, 12:50 PM

Bruce has got it exactly right. You camp in the snow to prove you can survive. You camp in nice weather to enjoy camping.

V - We'll probably get back to the great northwest sometime soonish (depending on the economy) but probably won't be winter - at least until Mrs. Dar retires from teaching school.

Thanks for the offer in any case.

BigV thinks we all don't appreciate how much fun winter camping is.
We all know BigV is nuts.
