But...what's the difference between "images that ask questions" and images that are just kind of weird? In an earlier post you talked about pushing people to explain why they like a particular image -- to go beyond just saying "that's nice" -- and the same thing applies here, I think. This isn't a comment specifically about the images you posted here, Tim, but just a general comment of interest on the topic. I'd love to hear more about this!

These feel like they are from the same situation, wait... they are. Sorry. I love the mood and am definately left with questions. From what I remember of your portfolio, and what I know of your work, I really think you should start placing more images like this into your portfolio. Not necessarily these, but... What I have seen in the work you place in your book and on your website is work they (newspapers) want to see. This is great. You've got a great internship because of it and were flown to Boston because of it. BUT, it's time to start poking your nose out in front of the herd and showing us how Timmy-Boy sees the world. Timmy-Boy,
