    On the one hand, the light's nice. On the other hand, I find the color distracting. :ivar

    1: If I was the browser and a smoke generator came and stood next to me, no matter how hard I was concentrating, the unmasked interrupt would cause my natural instinct to think there was a fire in the close proximity, and prompt me to take the necessary action… eek7.gif

    2: The smart bookworm wears gloves when using power tools…

    Thanks for sharing! thumb.gif

    Unmasked interrupt...that's the geekiest comment I've seen since Nik once noticed I had used the Mandelbrot set as a background. Of course, that time I was asking for it. lol3.gif

    You made my day, Wil. Thanks. thumb.gif

    Awais and Sara: thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it.

    BD: Yeah, maybe B&W is better, but I'm still not sure this B&W is better. But I think you gave me the clue about the legs attracting too much attention. Hmmmm....

    I like the shot. It makes me think of the contrast of manual work and intellectual work. I think the people who do manual work should do more intellectual work and the people who do intellectual work should do more manual work. The world would be less socio-economically divided. In your photo both the man looking for books and the man doing woodworking parallel each other reminding you the importance of work, whatever it may be.

    Interesting. I was more interested in the parallel forms and hadn't thought of that. Thanks for giving your interpretation. thumb.gif
