Thanks for posting all your Dad's wonderful works, and for showing us yourself as a small child. I love the one under the subway.... I think what people were offended with was the wording and way you addressed your initial post. You'll find this forum very gentle in comparison with others. It is also a place where people are learning and growing constantly, and I think they found what you said a bit of a shut down, me included. As you went on through explaining, you got softer and more human in your approach, thats always the best bet. A lot of us are not into hard bashings, because we've always treated each other kindly. I found Colm's idea very interesting as opposed to your Dads, in that he mentions there are times when you work with a celebrity who doesn't like his profile, and will throw out a good picture because of ego, not bad photography. It kind of nulls the idea altogether, and its nice to see varying views. I hope you will continue to share with us, and remember we are a good bunch, who wish the same to others. Syyd
