I'm glad you enjoyed it Sharon. I have a real problem though, believing that Joseph Campbell really felt that "portraits were hobbled by the need to be what they represented." This feels inconsistant with what he has written about myth. Isn't a portrait the most powerful and mythic subject to "squeeze out a meaning and a value of"?

I just hate to have Jospeh Campbell falter on the pedestal I placed him on years ago when I first discovered his books!!
