If my friends ever heard anyone say I had a secret they would laugh a lot :) (Keeping them is not something at which I'm very good ) I just shoot what I like, Boris... either something that makes me laugh or something that I think os beautiful... sometimes I see things and shoot and forget why I took the shot... I won't show pics to anyone unless I feel the subject matter and the um structure and light work well enough to hopefully capture the observer on more than one level... I have lots and lots of negatives and slides that fail miserably, believe me! I had already been shooting for almsot 20 years when I went to France... and I could still see what i was doing to focus then too. What made me snap the picture was that the statute was holding a club that I imagined ws going to come down on the head of the workman... I was standing pretty close to the little man and got off one shot... when I got home and printed I saw the "angel" protecting the workman. The yellow filter and the rainy day helped... but one of my colleagues at Soho Photo said with some seriousness, how much better the photo would have been in large format. I cropped this photo from a horizontal frame so it got grainy...I couldn't have gotten it at all if I had even take the time to reorient the camera or change lenses, etc... gee, I didn't mean to prattle so - not a enough coffee in me yet...but, well, ya did ask <vbg> off to lunch... ann
