A Photographic Quote of Note:
I do not object to retouching, dodging. or accentuation as long as they do not interfere with the natural qualities of photographic technique.

I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

Breezeblocks and shadows, something a little eiry and sinister, as though someone is following me and watching silently my every move.

Neat, simple, and it works well, Mr R

I didn't know how simply handsome you were. Wow, I'll bet you have to keep on your toes, running away from that cute woman as surely she couldn't resist such a man. And you're not a bit transparent.
