Response to Another generic picture.

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
Edward, you seem rather silent about all this advice. I was waiting to see what your response might be. It seems odd to consider reshooting a photo like this. What would be the point? Is this a portrait? It seems so, which makes shooting with another subject inappropriate, that would just be someone else pretending to be this person. It also seems fairly spontaneous, which changing the setting might cancel out. Although this woman seems very aware off what she looks like and would probably be able to look this way on cue. An Editorial comment on smoking? too uncommitted, pro or con, to send any distinct message.

There are some subtle conflicts that make it interesting, but they are very subtle and I'd be working too hard to justify them as significant. I like your title, but I have no advice or any worthwhile observations for you about this image. It is, however, very obvious that she's smoking and there's no technical problems apparent, except that I wish it were smaller to fit on my screen... t
