[New-Poetry] from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

[Judy Prince]

Honestly, Anny, I was flabbergasted by the consistent beauty and naturalness
(people-wise) of those photos.  Professional photogs say that the difference
between a professional and an amateur is the number of photos that a
professional throws away.  At the most, maybe 10 out of ALL of yours I might
consider tossing.  What a joy to see the small beautifully coloured
buildings in the towns as well as the huge cathedral-like buildings, inside
and out.  I'm still wondering how you managed to get such perfect shots of
the artifacts inside the museum.  Did you carry a tripod and flash bar?  How
else could you get such illumination?  At the very least, as if your photos
as an entire group were an "interests" test (Meyers-Briggs?), I found that I
most love interior design, having settled on ONE special favourite:  #0112.
 What kind of building was it in?  And what city?
Your only error in judgment was that you didn't hand your camera to a friend
and ask her or him to photograph YOU!

Best,

Judy
