[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 3417993, member: 1025"] This is marvellous, and I thank you for perservering and being willing to write it a second time. The main thing I want to know is which pictures seem like ones that would make good Ceramic stories--the ones that intrigue, suggest a story. I'm often deliberaretely ambiguous when I work for Ceramic, because I'm trying not to overtell the story--if I give too much away, it's harder for the contestants to find thier own voices. But it shouldn't be so ambiguous that it doesn't suggest anything at all. So your comments are perfect--just the sort of impressions I like to get. I'm particularly intrgued by your coments on the "And so we meet again" lines. Every time I've looked at this one, I've found interesting story ideas in it, but I didn't know if anyone else would. The political angle would be something new to me, and I'd like to hear about it--it's not unreasonable to see it there, even if I didn't mean it. There's a tension between the forces interacting that suggests various kinds of opposition to me--if the writer finds the tension, there's a lot of freedom to interpret the forces at work. I'm not on my own machine at the moment and so don't have access to more pictures this morning, but when I am back at my own desktop, I'll surely post more soon. Thanks so much. [/QUOTE]
