They remind me of prints made in the 1970s, using Russian optics. Flary, slightly faded to that orange haze that they eventually degenerate into. Ideal for a Cadbury's Flake advert. You might call it impressionistic. 8-) I do like it. The room I'm viewing them in is far too bright. I might change my mind this evening. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
