I wasn’t going to say anything because to each his own, and I also very much like van Empel. But when I saw today's post -- with the backs of heads images -- I just have to point out Lux's "At the Window" -- no more, no less in that image, it's great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-6683998062880299562009-02-23T14:32:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:32:00.000-05:00I'm a big fan of his work.
