Yeah, I'm going off script. Next thing you know it'll be babies in flowerpots, or weimaraners on bicycles.

*sniff sniff* I think I smell baby powder. I do smell baby powder. Are you going to post a pregnant woman with her hands on her stomach in the shape of a heart? Tell the truth...

Thanks Bryan. I wanted to have the focus fall off at the curve shape halfway up the picture (at the top of the stairs) so that it would have a kind of 'stage-set' feeling. To be honest, I'm not the most scientific of photographers-basically, to achieve this effect I just avoid movements, focus on something very near the front, and then stop down to f32 or f45 and hope for the best.

Thank you Jiri. You know I admire your own work very much.

I see that somehow you've gotten ahold of my secret archives.

It is a testament to the "branding" of those photographers because I know just who you mean from the mere description of their usual subjects.

Kind of like how when you mention "a guy who shoots all kinds of vintage cameras, vintage lenses, old films and different subjects without regard to technical perfection" and people immediately think of.....Jim Galli!
