The two women at the airport deserved a short piece with several images including an image of the returning fathers to complete the essay: for some reason however, my daughter did not want to spend any more time at the airport. :) The high key comment is interesting. I have been "printing" the images as my minds eye saw "wanted" the images to look like. In some of the "house" images there were some interesting curves applied to bring out detail in the shadows without blowing the highlights. In that sense then the images must be highkey as they are turning out as I wanted them to. But your comment and others tells me that perhaps I might go back and revisit an image or two and see what develps with more of a straight "print". Don don.dory@gmail.com On 8/6/05, B. D.
