Moreso, when I showed them what I had brought home, there were cries of "What on earth did you take a picture of that for?!" which a) made me question my motives along the same lines as this post, and b) made me resolve not to show my (artistic) pictures to my colleagues/non-photography-related friends/aunties.<BR/><BR/>If you don't mind I have a couple of examples to share:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=363957221" REL="nofollow">'rainy days' On Black</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=363957493" REL="nofollow">'bone work' On Black</A><BR/><BR/>Obviously I'm technically lacking, but that aside, I hope I might have shown another example of what you were saying.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
