Paradox is just a fancy word for "presenting something you don't understand without having to think it through"

Now all we need is a parrot next to an ox.

Sorry you had to hit me over the head with it.

I was staring at those two boat ramps all day and didn't get it.

This statement is false.
I must be cruel to be kind.

Or this strange fellow...

Photographers who post on internet forums using some handle rather than their real name, then rave about how well received their work is.
Really ... so where can I see your new show entitled

"Zone6FilmJunkie:New Works" ?

I just saw a campaign shot by a popular Toronto photographer - done in NY for a US agency. Yet if an American photographer goes to Toronto they'll tell you they can't work with non-Canadians. Even if you tell the border guards the truth about why you are visiting they'll detain you for hours.

So much for those free trade agreements Prez Clinton....

How about newbies/students/others who ask for, and listen intently to your "professional opinion" then proceed on a course that is 180 degrees out of sync with your recommendation!

I had a minor rebellion at one of my carbon workshops -- most of the students figured that my method might cause streaking in their prints. So they did it their way...and I let them, encouraged them actually. When their next prints had major unevenness in them, they quietly went back to my suggested method. One has to allow folks to make mistakes...it is called learning.

So a PPP -- one's mistakes are actually successes. I am having a very successful time with carbon printing!
