Looks like a still from an old B horror movie! Right down to the extremely high contrast. I love it! I think a Holga might suit my style of shooting (such as it is). Gotta pick me up one of those babies (however, being a purist, I might not get one with a built-in flash). Hmmmm. Diana, or Holga? Which would you suggest? <g> But, back to your photo: I love it!! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
