Thanks, Ann. I'm getting the feeling that this may not be a project worth
exploring; nobody cares that a mall is closing. Oh, well.
Actually, Doug, I wouldn't give up that easy. Richmond folk might very well
care about something that was once thriving and, perhaps, dear to their
hearts. As you stated, these 1st six are your round 1 shots; I'd give it a
few more trips to work the old mall. Moreover, the mall might be part of a
broader story--perhaps, just 1 of the many changes going on in Richmond--if
there are any; I don't know since I don't live there. I liked your shots,
and while I don't have the same sentimental feelings about the mall like
Richmond folk might, the set did make me think of the current state of our
national economy. HTH.
Cheers, Christine
