Marion, I like how you always look for something a bit different and experiment with ideas. There are some great shots in this collection, I like particularly the first and the last one for their abstract feel. Perhaps cutting it a bit a shorter would make it stronger. Overall nice work.

John, adventurous compositions, I like 1 and 6 the best, the shadow play on the window is great. I hope the dog recovered from overeating! :)

"artworks celebrating positive, uplifting feelings" ... "mediocre art"?

Are Monet's Water Lilies mediocre? Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" mediocre? Rembrandt's self portraits (when he was young) mediocre? Da Vinci's "The Virgin of the Rocks" mediocre? I am speechless.

Marla, I love how concise your essay is. It is great fun to experiment with ideas. It is also very refreshing and unpretentious, my kind of stuff :)

Paul, it is an essay about a photographic ideology rather than a photo essay. Your writing skills are amazing, I am very envious. I don't see however the significance of your snapshot to anyone else but you and your wife. A casual observer will have no reaction to it. And if that's the case the image has no wider audience, does not exist outside your space.

Your second image will have impact on most people by creating negative reactions to the image - fear, disgust, horror. WHY only negative emotions are considered art? I will never understand it. The art history has many images which were painted to evoke positive feelings, contemplation of the natural world, experience the strength of human nature. Are they no longer art?

PS I read now your replies to the comments others made. I think you don't really like photography as most people see it ;)
