Sorry about that!


I'm not Eric, but it was my wall!

It's a very nice beach scene. If I wanted an image that was slightly
reminiscent of Monet, I'd go for it. But if I wanted a _photograph_ of a
beach, I would pass. I've seen photographs of beaches, and that's not a
photograph of a beach.
But it's still very nice.


That is a mediocre snapshot that is/was in dire need of an ND filter, or
much fixing to deal with those blown highlights. Certainly not worthy of
any sort of serious display,

Damn, I'm really thinking about posting one of my "artistic" cat
photos now. :-)
....or maybe not. :-)


Why not? ;-)

A photograph is just a photograph after all, some are great, some are
cliché, some are truly awful, and some are truly awful clichés.

OK, I picked out a few cat photos. They range in order from
realistic to garishly over the top. Cliché? Totally YMMV
