Which one?

Dear Chunk,

Sorry . I was a little fazed last night when I posted the photos, and decided to forgo the tedium of saying which pictures they were . All the pictures from A Nap onwards. Or if you want to be a little more technical, all the pictures dated Wed Jan 5. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will probably post a little guided tour of the photos later today. Enjoy!

Dear All,

I probably should have done this when I first posted the pictures, but I was lazy and a bit phazed from the plane ride back here (what with a three hour delay at LAX ). I shall now give the guided tour. I did a lot more in terms of portraits than I usually do the past weeks. I guess it was just the lack of better subject matter. My favorites though, are A Morning Cuppa and Hello yes?, which both happen to be of my mom. She makes a very distinguished subject for the camera. My dad was also obliging (though he didn't have much of a choice in the matter!) and I got some good portraits. The best in my opinion is perhaps May I Pour? which also has my cute little neice in it as well. Both The Sleeping Man and A Nap are nice, but not in the touching way that the other is. A Nap is good for laughs, but is not as nice. My older sister somehow managed to be rather silly in each of the pictures I took of her (Whimsy ), not very helpful in that sense. I think Grandmother and Granddaughter makes a rather nice picture, both compositionally and in terms of subject. A nice candid in my opinion. To round out the field comes The table is set... , kind of a stock picture of the warm Christmas table. I hope you all enjoy this set, and please send me your comments, they are always welcome.
