Whoa, Peter -- gotta protest on this... "SADLY?" 'It's been done"???
This particular image of Marnie's isn't my favorite _kind_ of image but
"it's been done" is just not something that matters nearly as much as
the "how" and "how well"
and that applies to any art form. There ain't "nothing new under the
sun" in a substantial sense...
Although it is all new in small ways in photography, as the light is
never exactly the same, for one thing.
If we all held back our best PESOs and PAWS that had "been done" before
we wouldn't have much
PDML mail to read though.
