I'd like to thank Loreena for taking time to answer my question. It became apparent that I (in trying to make sure my question didn't become too lengthy or garbled in writing it out) didn't quite elaborate on some clarifying details. For those of you not in the chat, I asked Loreena about her photographs she takes during her travels (as evidenced by the ones we've seen on the QR page from Mongolia and the like) and whether she would consider putting a slideshow that could be enlarged on the site so viewers could fully appreciate them given the ones that are up on the site now are kind of small.
From what I have seen on the site so far the pictures are mostly landscapes, and given Loreena's feelings on privacy I would never want her to put up pictures that would compromise her or her subject matter. I just wanted to clarify that I don't find it necessary for her to be in the picture to make it interesting. What I as a viewer appreciate most are images that don't fit the trap of "traditional posed shots" that almost everyone feels they need to take to "prove" they were in a specific place. If it helps you distill through the pictures you've taken Loreena, I would be most interested in seeing the places through your camera lens, as amateur as you think the end results may be. One doesn't have to be a trained artist to render a beautiful shot. Some of the most intriguing imagery I've appreciated comes from people who have never taken a class.

If this slideshow idea does become a real addition to the website I look forward to seeing how the images are organized.
I hope these comments have clarified where I was coming from. I look forward to the next chat.

Angie
