well...value (like "activism" g) is a subjective thing. as i said, i
enjoy your stuff and i look forward to buying your book.



I seriously doubt there will ever be a book. I only mentioned it because,
for me, ROFF is simply a Class III to Class IV boredom relief tool. Thus,
if I'm here, I'm real bored by definition, and likely to drone on endlessly
about nearly anything, just to kill some time.

Photography seems, to me, to fall into two broad catagories .... recording
events ( taking pictures of the family at X-mas, the big fish, or most of
my 'purdy clouds' photos on my site ) ..... or producing something new that
stands by itself and somehow expresses more than the photo's subject did in
the flesh ( Edward Weston's peppers for instance ).

The closest synthesis of those in a 'fly fishing' realm I recall are
probably some of John Juracek's images ... perfect for a fishing catalog,
but much more than that, too, in the best examples.


Um, why not? here is a picture of 'Silver Creek' that I like quite a bit
but couldn't fit into a "fly fishing book' ...... most of my favorite
'fishing' photos wouldn't make it into most fishing books
