Response to Backstage

from Tony Rowlett (rowlett@alaska.net)
You two must be stressed with all the Thanksgiving plans, you know, family and in-laws on their way over. Probably have to remove the darkroom equipment from the bathroom. Take all your mat-cutting equipment supplies off the kitchen/dining room table. Might be that you just need to go out and get a new lens. Thinking digital lately? How about color?

My take on this photograph is that I think it is one of those that would be stronger in a series with some textual information, like what these two fellows just finished doing, or what they're about to do. This is not to say that it is "weak" on account of it working better in a series, just that it would work better presented that way. I don't think it has the strength to stand along. I don't particularly mind that the fellow on the right is a tad blurry, because the characteristic renders motion, nothing more, nothing less. I like seeing all the hands, and for those who are sick and tired of me bringing up the fact that I like to see hands in pictures, well, just look at this photograph and imagine it without them and you'll see what I mean. So there. Now... I have to go get all the crap off my dining room table. Oh, and Steve, simply stating that something is random garbage without stating any platform whatsoever is like saying the color green is stupid. Well, probably is, but try telling Kermit that. See what he says.
