Unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>My first impression on seeing the images, before I read the entry and had context, was "Man! The images are great without that weird abstract broken glass...what gives?!" Then I read. Sorry about your "loss", and hope you can resolve it.Seinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234370928201525172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493601.post-89825465684923062132009-03-24T23:06:00.000-05:002009-03-24T23:06:00.000-05:00Yey!

It must have been difficult to see your photos turned into "entropic decay" before your eyes ;-). But once again you have taken lemons and turned them into lemonade, and created an incredibly beautiful image in return. It sounds as if you created several images.....perhaps you'll share more of these with us.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146163330914775210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9493601.post-79237025392184184852009-03-24T10:32:00.000-05:002009-03-24T10:32:00.000-05:00Cedric, thanks for that link!

The sad destruction of your prints gave opportunity for new ones to be made. As fair a trade-off in life as one might expect. And as for the <I>time</I> to re-print and re-frame I do believe that some of your quantum colleagues question the existence of time so you could say it will take no time at all :) Sorry, I'm sure that doesn't help.<BR/>All the best Andy. Oh and your "abstract" image... simply brilliant if that's any consolation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
