Not a cat


I get irritated by a few people who insist on playing guessing games with my photos... particularly macro or abstract. I'd like to tell them, if you cannot simply enjoy the light, shapes, colors, tones - please just move along. I'm considering no longer posting on sites that do not have an option for controlling privacy.

Sometimes I just like to experiment with an idea or a concept, but these people can't accept that the image is not a 'thing' that they know. If you don't see anything from me on Pbase or Flickr, it'll be because I'm using a private gallery.

I seldom comment on pbase anymore but do enjoy checking on the few favorites I have. I want to see what they see and not be critical of their work. Strange, in that I so enjoy your macro work and use of light, shape, color, and tones. For me that is the gift you offer!

Besides, I'm not sure that 60mm marcro will come off your camera.

Thank you, Monte. :-)

It's human nature to define everything. Man will create a heaven to explain the clouds. So let the kids think your picture of a paperclip is a bike rack or a metal whisk. Keep 'em in the dark. :D
