Thanks to your patient tutelage I learned to notice if the horizon in my picture is straight or not! Remember when we were in Bursa and I saw that delightful room of men smoking hookah and you asked them politely if they would mind if you took a picture of them? That is one of my favorite pictures, A. because it is awesome, but also B. because it makes me want to be more assertive about getting good pictures. The embarrassment of asking someone or positioning myself in an awkward spot is a temporary hiccup for a "permanent" picture! You are a really good photographer!

Great read! Interesting about the Golden Ratio being developed from scanning the horizon. And Fake candid poses to photography are what the drop shadow is to design. They're tempting and seem so right, but can be so wrong! One other thing I have to mention is that it looks like you were having an intense debate with baby Jesus and he couldn't get a word in edgewise, then at the last second, you turned to the camera to flash a peace sign only to go back to the point you were trying to make. haha. We miss you Charlie! Oooh, exotic. Great read! Interesting about the Golden Ratio being developed from scanning the horizon.
