1. Such hard decisions. It takes me forever to decide.

2. I love them all

I don’t vote though, because as an artist I simply don’t play that game. I think there is too much emphasis in this country on everything being a competition to be Number 1. It’s the mentality that only one can be the best, the most beautiful, the most popular, the richest, etc. there is too much of that mentality with Donald Trump, but he’s a Psychopath so it’s understandable.

Great works of art, including in photography are lost because of this unfortunate mentality. If it doesn’t make it to being number 1 then it gets relegated to the heap of mediocrity. I call bullshit on that. Thus I thoroughly enjoy the wonderful work of our DU photographers without relegating any of it to some loser status.
