Then I think it's a sure bet that the colored shot is digital. Of course I was assuming that you were not using a digital SLR (many if not all which have the 2x3 proportion), and that you wouldn't bother to crop. A lot of assumptions from my part I suppose. Maybe it was my imagination; I just remember some of your digital shot (Manhattan skyline from the Staten Island ferry or something like that, and the trolley conductor (?) in San Francisco (?) - I remember the images, without remembering the details too well).
