Your response to part 1 surprised me. I really hadn’t anticipated the kind of feedback the article got and it encouraged me to move up my publishing efforts, wanting to meet a deadline sometime late in September, rather than perhaps never, which I was feeling I might easily justify.

Dear Susan’s contributors have varied photographic interests, taken with varied equipment, but often with a unifying aim to avoid the obvious, and often taking an independent path to interesting photography.
