Oh and another thing, I sometimes feel sorry for you, as I do for any great artist, because you can't see your own photos the way the rest of us can. I hope ed, jj, xion, boysetsfire, et al can cheer you up on that account. :)

whew... I thought you were losing it... my last 4 scores for you were 7, 6, 5, 6... but at least you've shown you know what your best is. :P

But in case you don't, let me tell you. Your best photos are the ones that threaten to fly apart, or crumble, or dissolve. They are in some way on the edge of disappearing.

Because the best photos are not about a subject, they are about the experience of looking at the photo. And when you as a photographer take a risk, take the photo to the edge of visual chaos, and when the viewer is almost as brave as you were, then a tremendous experience occurs at the moment (or should I say eternity?) of viewing, a true adventure, an exploration into what is possible and what is impossible but happens anyway, somewhere we can't quite reach.

I'm worried about you, Pedro. Twice in a row you've entered a photo that I love. This could spell scoring doom for you.
