I enjoyed the park scenes. Imagining how insanely hostile the world out there is in so many places of this globe, they are a poignant reminder of peace and quiet.<BR/><BR/>The scene art the vernissage reminds me of one I attended with M., in Philadelphia. Everything was kept in white (yes, even the art), even the food. Dessert was a big bowl of white M&Ms (I asked were they got them - they had picked out all the red and blue ones from the Fourth of July edition, sold five months earlier *giggle*).Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481510413550460157.post-5990452229788130962009-01-12T02:15:00.000-05:002009-01-12T02:15:00.000-05:00An amusing little comment above that made me giggl...An amusing little comment above that made me giggle :)<BR/><BR/>Love those mysterious night park shots! Somebody mentioned framing them and offering them for sale. I think that's a great idea for many of your photos. Or sell the prints 'as is' & people can frame the pics themselves. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out that 'crappy photo blog' as it sounds fun.
