It's my new look, Jeffery. Brash, colorful, arty, in-your-face, 
happening! It's the kind of work that says "Kiss off, asshead, this is 
too intellectually extreme for you to understand." ("You" meaning 
everybody who didn't make nice-nice about my PAWs.)

The tilt you see in the painter shot is in fact the true lines. The 
paintings are stacked against a wall, which gives the whole picture an 
apparent tilt.

Something is wrong about the Agfa Portrait 160 being too grainy. It has 
an RMS number of 3.5 and 150 lines/mm. It's one of the most finely 
grained negative films made. Could your processor be running it at a 
higher temperature than recommended?
