"I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on." Mark Rothko.

"A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth." Richard Avedon.

John, I really appreciate the ambiguity in your images. For me, good art never reveals itself on first glance, but requires repeated viewing to comprehend. The first image above is a knock-out. More please.

that figure with the writing on the wall in a previous post is sensational John...
