About Me

I generally won't accept friend requests from people I don't actually know, haven't already "met" online, or haven't corresponded or worked with previously in some way. (Unless you're a mucisian or artist whose work I like.) No offence intended. I will try to respond to messages, however. (And that's correspondance, so I may accept a friends request afterwards.)

bobv May 30th, 2009 7:56 am I think it's essential to ask why it is so important to some on the left that these photographs are made widely available. Why aren't narrative descriptions of these...
