I look at this and I see a group of people shopping - somewhere, I have no idea where - with a T-shirt saying "I see dead people" hanging over them. As the people in the photo are clearly not dead, and don't have a dead look about them, I don't think this works. However - if this were a photo of a group of people in a subway car, lined up on a bench, in which one person was wearing this t-shirt and everyone in the photo had blank, dead expressions on their faces, it definitely would work - at least for me. Obviously, this is all a matter of opinion.:-) B. D. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
