Omar,
Hmm. Language is often dangerous, even often unwittingly so. I'm in a
Pentax photographic forum and one of its members, a Romanian, just today
announced that two of his photos had been selected to be on two of his
nations stamps. I congratulated him as many others were doing, but
added that I couldn't think of a more prestigious achievement by a
modern day photographer. And I almost asked him, "have you ever seen
the movie /Fargo/," but hesitated and went over the character Norm
Gunderson in my mind; then I realized that my opinion about how
prestigious an achievement this was came from that movie. That perhaps
wasn't so bad but Norm Gunderson is presented as a very petty, unlovely
and selfish person; so I left out all mention of "Fargo" and ended my
note early. :-)
