>His sensitive photos...<

Neil, "sensitive"?, as in easily offended? Or, good listeners when you
have romantic problems?  Do they also have a good sense of humor, if so
and they are male photographs then they are just the kind of "guys" I
understand most women want to meet.  Just kidding Neil, how are they
"sensitive"?
