    Ladies and Gentlemen, as both a professional photographer I feel this is what is known as: 1) "Dazzle them with Brilliance or Baffle them with Bullships" 2) "Grasping at Straws" 3) "Glorifying the Kingdom of Darkness". (When you have spiritual discernment you can see through this kind of "art")

    Great lady. Very inspiring. But that art, I don't know what people see in it. I understand it is her expressing herself in a manner that makes sense to her. But I don't understand how it makes any sense to others. And I am not talking about understanding her state of mind. I mean how does someone actually end up liking 3 colored mountains with a wavy red sun. If I see it on a kindergarten wall, I will clap for the kindergartener who made it.
