Of Michiel's set, I find this one to be gorgeous for the light, the lines, the shadows: http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/blug2005/pages/Blug01.htm This one also jumps out at me...more than I think it should, somehow: http://michielfokkema.no-ip.info/blug2005/pages/Blug13.htm The stillness of the man and the suit-clad mannequins behind him contrasting with the motion blur of the walkers is very nice. I think I might prefer it cropped just above the books, leaving the reflection of "JAZZ" in the window. I think it would lend a little more mystery, as well as concentrating attention on the contrast between his sharpness and the walkers. As far as Nathan's Peepee women go, I am always disturbed when I'm in a place where this is the norm. To an American like myself, access to a bathroom/toilet/wc is an inalienable right...not to be interfered with by imposing a cover charge! Of course, I imagine many people feel the same way about tipping when visiting the US, so I usually swallow my feelings and try to act like a Roman. But I am glad to hear Nathan also finds it a bit odd: http://www.nathanfoto.com/paw/2005/2005_46alt7.jpg Best, Aaron
