No, not sappy. But I am wondering about my own reaction to the cityscape. I find is more tranquil and multidimensional than the two mountains and clouds, which seem more…static?

Could be the very different image styles. the ny shot is a high res sharp with pro camera. The hawaii shot was a scanned slide and very soft.

It might be party that, but I have thought more about it and I think that I like the unsymmetricality (is that a word) of the NY shot. Just personal taste, I suppose. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thanks. I feared it might be too sappy. No patience for water? tell me more.

Growing up in semi arid desert, there wasn't any, for one thing. Water pictures are often so conventional. And I am not a big fan of green, preferring the grays and browns and tans of stick season and winter.

Yes, I remember returning to vt after a stay in nm and az and finding our pervasive green just too garish compared to the subtle palette of the desert.

Except when we aren't. HA. I find I write more optimistic and grateful than I am able to maintain on a daily basis.

So lyrical. Often your text is as delightful as your photos!

Hmmm. i went back and forth over this one and it may have ended up too "poetic", too over-written. But that's the pleasure of this experiment. I get to ... experiment.
