Response to Eyes!

from Jeff Spirer (jeff@spirer.com)
Tom, I always thought Butterfield peaked with East-West, that goofy mix of blues, rock, and the title song, a masterpiece of pseudo- eastern (mixing up Indian and Middle Eastern styles) pseudo- psychedelia that reflected everything that there was to know about the music scene in the late 60s.

OK, enough about music. I like photos that don't have eyes. I like photos that have eyes. I don't think it makes a lot of difference in terms of a good portrait. I had the tough guy with sunglasses here a while back, and no-one made a remark about not seeing the eyes (well I think I'm right, I'm too lazy to check), but I know in that photo, seeing the eyes was unnecessary.
