Would you have been offended?

totally.Some peoples children just have a major problem with visions of grandeur seeing themselves as the next Ansel Adams, or e.g other famous shooter. The way I look at it a postcard is art that is seen by a lot more people than in some stodgy gallery. I had somebody onetime tell me that one of my photos would make a great mousepad. I chuckled at it, and said thanx. The idea of a mouse running over one of my shots was funny to me. The way I look at it is if somebody thinks it is a marketable shot then it is a compliment. This is the photo that he said would make a good pad.

I wouldn't have gotten offended at that. Either he misheard you or he's too much of an artist as Kelly said.
