  4. How much better the composition of the second picture is - bodies sliced in half in the first, make for unease...

  6. The other side is hard work, especially when done so well it deceptively looks easy.

  7. Oh, yes! That is the life of the service industry. I've been in those shoes before.

  8. I love hopper's work. He painted a picture of an usher daydreaming in a picture show that haunts me.

  10. Hopper is one of my favorites, nice to see the progression of his work from the first to second. He seems to see inside his subject.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
