I googled these. There seems to be so many different interpretations as to minimalism. I suppose it is safest to go the route with the least in the photo.

Yeah, I thought, after I was done putting them up, how now it would not be as easy to "plaigerize" sp?.

There is a large variation, IMO, in the meaning of minimalism and good minimalism.

I still like the one of two pears, that Andy's recommended site had, it is two pears and is called pair, just white mostly. Best I have seen. Wonder if I could "try" that. Do you ever feel, when you look at all the winning stuff, that the best ideas have been taken. Not that I would have thought them up in the first place.

thanks, g

There's an engineering principle that says "Your design is not complete when you have nothing more to add. It's complete when you have nothing more to take away." In other words simplify, simplify, simplify. That principle might work here.

Remember, there are more photos that HAVEN'T been taken than have been taken. :rofl
