And when they tell you to read thus-and-so to find out what they want, and you've already read and studied it, like you said, it's even more frustrating. <br />Good luck with the 20 other haiku avenues that you have found. Maybe those will prove less frustrating. And I can't wait to read about your one day leisure class. I love photography, and I bet that class will be very interesting and fun!Lauren F.

As for playing it safe, I'm notorious for that. Pretty much everything in the world of humans scares me.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419861560916618815.post-54875764272021717712011-02-08T11:29:40.539-06:002011-02-08T11:29:40.539-06:00Sorry about the Haiku situation.
