Acutally, Shel felt uncomforatble with it. I would, too, and I'm not saying that my vision is any one elses. I also wrote you and Graywolf privately about further reasons I pounced on Shell for showing it to us - that I wish not to be made public. I would never take pictures of someone who was injured, for instance, myself. There is no judgement on my part about them, but I can't look at them. I of course am reminded of my neice when look at this woman, and what I see is death looming. Of course it is my problem. If this woman didnt care, fine - but she was not given the opportunity. I think taking pictures of strangers at this close range whether they are beautiful or homely is intrusive and should never be shown Unless the person in question has been consulted first. I'll confess I find it difficult to look at her, I should be lying if I did not. I don't like looking at pictures of me either, Marnie. annsan
