Randy,
You're in a "mood" today lol, so I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not,
but honestly,
they are good poses I think,
almost designed with your style of photo in mind.
Would make a good camp scene.

The only mood I'm in is being overwhelmed by Mr. Steele's art and wanting to share it with you guys. I love that camp scene and I was thrilled that John did both the winter camp and now the one for St. Francis. I have been getting a charge out of your love of John's work and your enthusiasm for it so when I found those pictures I couldn't help having fun with you. I sent one to John too, he refers to you as "my protege". I get really enthused about subjects (at the the moment colonial India) and become obsessed with them so I am glad you do too. Actually my love of FIW, Colonial India, Africa, China, the Sudan and the British Empire are all part of my longtime academic interest in the study of imperialism and colonialism especially in connection with the British Empire. Yesterday I spent the day at Yale seeing the Darwin and Art exhibition that is relevant to my work in both art history and collecting toy soldiers. The Darwin exhibit even included photos of Zulu warriors. I taught a course at Syracuse University that looked at 19th C American artists like Winslow Homer in the context of Darwinian ideas such as the struggle for existence. Homer was Jack London's contemporary and Homer's wildlife and ocean paintings may be compared with London's Call of the Wild.
