But her dress does really jump out at you in the dark house with all of the
browns and greys.  That's why the Lenca women wear such bright colors.
 They are surrounded by drab, dirt colors all of their lives.  The dresses
look florescent.  ICE doesn't affect any films adversely except Kodachrome
and B&W.  My scanner scans twice for each slide.

Thanks,

Tina
