Hi! SB> Boris, you seem so heavy of heart sometimes. Coming from one, I can say SB> that you sometimes epitomize the stereotypical Russian Jew. You should SB> meet my grandfather (on my mother's side) ;-))
Well, you are actually correct. But please allow me not to elaborate on this. SB> You don't know if anyone was injured. I was there, there was no blood, no SB> ambulance, the cops when asked made no mention of any injuries. So, maybe SB> no one got injured. Maybe the car fell off a truck. You don't know. You SB> are making an assumption. Shel, I was trying to describe the feeling that you evoked in me with this image. I don't think just when a photograph evokes a feeling the rational reasoning become less prominent. I am not making any assumptions, though of course it would seem this way. But let us not argue. SB> Kaboom is not necessarily jovial, and a car wreck is not always serious. SB> Kaboom was the first thing that came to mind when I was about to type in SB> the subject. Your comment has once again reinforced the idea that titles SB> can color or alter one's perception of a photograph. Maybe I shall do away SB> with them in the future. Just curious, how might you have reacted had the SB> subject (title, if you will) been #2, or Red Pansies, or just Overturned SB> Car? What is it Pansy? On the other hand, perhaps the last option would cause less damage, so to say. I should say that sometimes I wish photos wouldn't be given a title. You know - everyone would perceive them their own way. SB> How does the title affect your perception of this set of photos: SB> Man Waiting for Ketchup: http://tinyurl.com/2o2cj Let me see. Well, I actually want to see the frame in between these two. One where this person would put away their Leica and grab the bottle of ketchup. As it is, the connection between these shots is only in the title that you suggested. It is not that easy to read it from the shots themselves. Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
