    You are increasingly entering into the world of ImageFiction in ways that we photographers were denied access to for so long. Now we can tell stories without worrying about whether we have to rigorously set it up in pre-processing, or stumble upon it in nature. I like it that you are such a story teller… or at least you are provoking my imagination to tell your stories to myself. SWEET!

  • Mary Ann Reilly replied

    Thanks Ted. I have been a writer for much longer than I have been a photographer. Photography is a very new venture for me. I suspect the need for narrative shows in the work I compose. I do appreciate you noticing that so much:)
