Donald, I guess we are something alike! I am turned on by landscapes, not portraits. And you are turned on by portraits not landscapes! LOL! The portrait that I posted in my first response is one that has always turned me on! (Most portraits don't do anything for me at all). To me, this image tells a story, about the hard times experienced in the great depression, even though it is entitled Migrant Mother. I have thought about shooting portraits, matter of fact I have been asked to, I am not sure that this is something I could pursue, seeing how I feel about portrait work. I could go into a speel and tell you what it is about landscapes and nature that makes me "want" to shoot them. But I have yet to find one reason to shoot a portrait. Give me a pencil or some charcoal however,and I will draw your Caricature. That is one of the things that I do draw. (Bet you didn't know I was an artist did you?) But I won't draw a landscape! Go figure! ;) Brenda
