Life vs Still Life

Sandy S. suggested I need to shoot fewer still studies and more people, animals, landscapes.

I don't disagree with what you say in principle, but I've discovered that when I do photograph people, animals or landscapes they wind up looking like still lifes – which is, in a way, what my photos are all about. As you know, I sometimes think in French, and in a way all my photos come under the rubric the French use for still life: "dead nature," nature morte.
