Al, you have a firm supporter in me, and your recent work certainly has a place here. All the work placed here has its niche, from digitally altered to simple record, from technically perfect to dust bunny warren. For me, we never stop learning, whatever category we place our pictures in, someone will hopefully learn. They will either broaden their horizons and look at and start to appreciate images they would never take or they will learn from our mistakes. There is a photographer I know who adds animals to beach scenes - interesting and clever to start with, now he seems to me to be stuck in a rut, but others still appreciate his work - horses for courses. Unfortunately some people will never see beyond the photograph they take, but some need to push at the boundaries all the time. Just enjoy what you are doing Al - you are certainly giving many of us an awful lot of enjoyment. Thanks.
