HT0912 - I Failed, Badly

I received an email from a fellow who had seen my latest book, Dreams of Japan. He wrote to advise that I might want to consider getting a better lens because all the images were slightly soft and, to make matters worse he continued, the highlights were fogged due to lens flare. Evidently, this fellow completely missed the idea that I was trying to present dream-like images, hence the title Dreams of Japan. With him, I clearly failed to communicate how my chosen aesthetic made sense in the context of the project.
