Wonderful, Elisabeth. Really does remind me of Duane Michaels- he is one of my favorite artist. Great message and beautifully done.

Hi, Elisabeth,
I voted for this in screening. I like this very much. It reminds me of a Duane Michals image and of one of my own that I created in emulation of Duane Michals.
Good idea, good work. I know how hard this is to do.

Elisabeth Gustafson Duane Michaels? Got to look him up! Never heard of him i am afraid! :O) I really apprecialte your comment King and the fact that you understood the work behind it. I had it in member screening and those who woted against mainly pressed the "editing" choice. Well its not edited, not moore than its converted to black and white with sepia tone. Other than that its a single shoot right out of the camera.
I am pleased that you have seen beyond and knows the technicue i have used! Thanx alot!
