Well I took Ann's advice and went out to look at the earlier PUGs
downloaded the files and tried a few old, (strange how a technique from
only 15 years or so ago is now "old"). tricks from the bad old days and
strangely the results weren't unusable at least for the web.
I still hope to find the negatives re-scan and really do them justice,
now that I have "modern" image manipulation tools available.
I decided to post the image that was the least technically perfect to
the 20th Anaversary PUG since it was the least likely to be hurt by
upresing, so you'll all get a chance to see it then.
The amazing thing is that I clearly remember what equipment I was using
and why I took each of these, When I look an a lot of my digital images
I don't remember which camera and lens I was using and often wonder
"What the hell was I thinking?"
I think this was the first image I ever posted to the PUG. After
upresing to 800px by 586 it and a bit of judicious sharpening it looks
almost as good as I want to remember it did originally. I didn't even
bother to watermark the original with copyright information.

I had almost forgotten about this image, I really only downloaded it and
played with it because I found it amusing. I often thought I was easily
amused. You all can judge for yourselves.
