Farewell in the eyes and farewell at the centre,
Just to stand still without moving a hand.

In a world without heaven to follow, the stops
Would be endings more poignant than partings, profounder,
And that would be saying farewell, repeating farewell,
Just to be there and just to behold.

To be one’s singular self, to despise
The being that yielded so little, acquired
So little, too little to care, to turn
To the ever-jubilant weather, to sip

One’s cup and never to say a word,
Or to sleep or just to lie there still,
Just to be there, just to be beheld,
That would be bidding farewell, be bidding farewell.

One likes to practice the thing. They practice,
Enough, for heaven. Ever-jubilant,
What is there here but weather, what spirit
have I except it comes from the sun?

(Wallace Stevens)

My friends, I'm here to tell you that the skin's texture and imperfections are the very things that create interest . Sometimes I like an image in spite of it's author's photoshop skills, but I promise I'm never turned on BECAUSE of that plasticky-monotone look. I want some connection with the subject, not the idea of the subject.

Photoshop does nice things with color balance if you know how to use it (and if you're not trying for those moribund icy tones that are the viagra of a faded libido). But the smoothing/retouching doohickeys are crap. They provide cover for a photographer's discomfort with living things, with juiciness, the gorgeous human mess, and deep looking. Photoshop is the Muzak of photography.

So, writing as a devoted viewer, if you are willing to post your pre-'shop ("unedited") images, I'd be mighty interested.

1. A pretty girl is better than an ugly one.

2. A leg is better than an arm.

3. A bedroom is better than a living room.

4. An arrival is better than a departure.

5. A birth is better than a death.

6. A chase is better than a chat.

7. A dog is better than a landscape.

8. A kitten is better than a dog.

9. A baby is better than a kitten.

10. A kiss is better than a baby.

11. A pratfall is better than anything.
