Hi, > E. Do you really, honestly like exotic/abstract images?
what does this mean? E.a all exotic images are also abstract E.b all abstract images are also exotic E.c 'exotic' and 'abstract' are interchangeable E.d you want an answer for 'exotic' and another (possibly different) answer for 'abstract' E.e one's feelings towards exotic images and towards abstract images are necessarily the same, what are they? I will give you my real, honest answer to E.d: I like many exotic (whatever that means) images, and I like many abstract images. I dislike many exotic images, and I dislike many abstract images. I have a continuum of different feelings towards different pictures which differ in their degrees of exoticism and abstraction. In other words, I do not have any policy or prejudice regarding exoticism or abstraction in 'images' (whatever that means) in general. Instead, I decide based on the individual 'image', and how I feel at the time. Your question invites a yes/no answer, but nobody who gives any real thought to the question could possibly ask it, or answer it with a straightforward yes or no. I detect a whiff of anti-exoticism/abstraction in a person who frames such a question. -- Cheers, Bob
