I also find I am looking at u-tubes much more critically recently. Beautiful music and slow motion can present a specific picture and set a mood, whereas if I turn off the sound and imagine the action speeded up I see it quite differently.Máirehttp://poniesathome.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3300955165918958606.post-85803874377386604512012-06-18T14:57:34.082-04:002012-06-18T14:57:34.082-04:00What's also curious is that whoever put togeth...What's also curious is that whoever put together the catalog thought that it would be a good idea to advertise the products by means of anxious, sad-looking models. What if the girl modeling the jodhpurs was scowling, or if the blonde woman in the polo shirt had tears trickling down her cheek? It would be weird and jarring, and not good for sales.
