Response to Summer Afternoon (Erotica Aftermath)

mr. spirer: i am somewhat puzzled why you feel the need to criticize my critique. it was my understanding that this forum was provided for the purpose of offering critical observations of the various images offered. i also am bemused by your presumption that there is some sort of minimum postings per week, or that one must respond to all (or a large number) of the images supplied, or else risk your disapproval. i can assure you that if i did post my response to each and every image, the chances are excellent, based upon the heightened degree of sensitivity you have exhibited in your response to my post, that you would indeed wax eloquent in your displeasure with me. i say this because, quite frankly, your last two offerings have been hopless wastes of good film; one is a well exposed example of a surprised cook, and the other is a vague and ill-composed mystery, complete with blown out "highlights". in short, mr. spirer, the chief cause of my hesitancy to review each submission is that i have a distaste for pointing out the absence of excellence. i intend to follow that policy in the future, whether or not you approve. wayne harrison
