It is never too late for a good beer in good company (cliché intended)...
For the record: She was OK with that version.
Michael,
A great economical and well imagined image that compresses together lots of social ideas. Best of all is when one has been there several times before and knows the language and ambience of the place.
I missed her when I was last there, or she has lost the german flag from her face and been well fed! She is warm, lively and a good person to talk to and I bet a great listener too!
This works so well in color but, like my mixture of fruit and a teapot, biology and beer go better in B&W as it's just the shapes and textures with no interference and sidetracking from the call and immediacy of colors.
As to touching, this works! It does touch me as I feel there's a presence and community going on!
