This sunset in the Algonquin Lakes region of Canada was taken with the least complicated, easiest type of camera you can use -- a disposable. One gallery owner has repeatedly called it too pretty, and disparaged it (he thought) as a postcard. He would have sliced a vertical swath out of it and used that, just the sun and its reflection, as the picture. We refused to let him touch the picture. Pictures don’t become postcards unless they are good. So instead of an outrageous cropping of the picture, it is here in its original state captured on a disposable camera by a 14-year-old boy on a two-week canoe trip who now is a 25-year-old man (George Jr.). He retains his ability to find a picture where no one else sees it. Yes, it’s good enough to be a postcard, but sorry, it costs somewhat more than a postcard. Somebody has to pay for that camera.
