Response to Windblown

Hey Struan, you seem to be working in modes alot these days, involuntary illiteration and now some sort of kid thing... very entertaining, can't wait to see what else pops out...

I ususally use the term "gesture" to indicate a subconcious and genuine motion denoting attitude or style. It has a little reference, also, to the brush stroke gesture that defines a painters signature of technique, most obvious in Van Gogh and the Impressionists but also in much ethno-centric art. Jeff evokes both of those contexts for me with this image. The gesture of the subject, hands in pockets and a "starting" of intent toward some other, and Jeff's own gesture with the camera/brush which is indicative of and resident in his style, not just this one image... t
