Michal, Maybe you remember my response a long time ago to your tendency to refer to your photos as snaps and snapshots. I felt that you were being far too humble, that the term, snapshot, should be used when refering to a photo that is the quality to be expected from a non-serious amateur (or something to that effect.) I've been reading "Stieglitz - A Beginning Light," which by the way is very enjoyable. Today I came across two pieces written by Stieglitz in which he refers to his photos as snapshots. One of them is none other than his famous "snap" of the Flatiron Building. If Stieglitz can refer to his stuff as snapshots, I guess you can too. :) --Mike Buckley

Michal, I've been off and about doing my wandering thing, but do take time to drop by and check out the photos. Agree with Scott about that photo of the woman as seen through the glass block. It was awesome! Of the latest group, this one caught my eye. A study in black and white in colour. Neat! (my fav of this batch, btw). 640x480.net Watch out! You might be approached by someone to put this on their billboard ad in the next election!! 640x480.net This one strikes me as some kind of time-warp photo... and as American as Mom's apple pie! <g> 640x480.net There's something interesting that happens with these photos with the level of colour saturation you seem to be using. No doubt, I've mentioned this before when you first began doing a bit more with colour in a more painterly way... but these have that very "alive" feel to me, especially when they contain any green. (Or is it just that my eyes are outta whack from looking at snow for so long?!!). Just curious about this one -- made me think to ask if you ever do selective sharpening of parts of these images? I thought that might be the case in this shot. It's a hoot in any case. Like the matching smiles. 640x480.net ~croc
