not bad, Mac. Were the titles pre-set or could you take photos and entitle them however you wanted. I especially like Sunset, Light, and Number.

those were bloody good actually. Your mate looks really Irish by the way. Probably because he is Irish ;)

Yes the titles were preset, each photo had to be related to a particular theme, but there was freedom of interpretation, which helped me a lot when I was lost for inspiration.

And yes Griet, that is my mate Dave in that picture, and yes he is Irish, and no I meant his expression was empty, not his brain ;o)

the titles were pre-set? wow. I always find it easier to give something a title afterwards, this makes me even more impressed. Which of the animals is Major btw? the fluffy hairball on a leash, or the snouty close up? So that’s Dave eh… a-haaaaa

I just looked through em again and I was struck by the originality of photo’s like You, Animal, Scape, Time, Transport, Water (wow), Authority (very funny), Symmetry and Money. I think I find Symmetry the best photo of them all… the sheer idea of taking a photo like that instead of some symmetric building… wow. Other photo’s (like Love or Construction or Empty or Colour) I also really like, but they’re more “what you see is what you get”. A different type of photo. Colour me really impressed

Yep, the fluffy hairball is Major. The other one is Harvey, the cousins’ dog. He paid us a visit on Thursday evening.
