[AGL] Invitation to view Connie's Picasa Web Album - fotofest2008

[Kathy]

Oh Connie this is a real treat! Thank you for taking the time to do  
this and send it to us.
  My 2 favorites are; 1) the 2 men with the table between them and  
your image with camera reflected  over the shoulder of the seated  
one. I love it because it encompasses the present and the past. and   
the contrast of black and white and the faint color of yourself  and  
the larger  size of your disembodied head seeming ghostly- while they  
are probably the ghostly ones now.
2) the seated wedding couple who both look terrified, It is the  
woman,  averting her eyes that  caught my attention. It's very  
captivating and mysterious. I couldn't tell if she was the same woman  
as in the wedding party going down the mountain in a later photo. tho  
I have to admit they're all fascinating  and the early zip line is  
something else. I can't figure out what he is holding onto or what is  
holding him.
