PS: I'm not much of an Anne Geddes fan, Tanya. It's okay that you are, you
know, to each her own and all. Technically she's wonderful, but it just
ain't my thing.
no, but if you take a 35mm slide and enlarge to 40x60, you will. Galen
Rowell wrote about this happening to his enlargements in a couple of columns
in Outdoor Photographer as a side comment on why he abandoned optical
enlargements of his prints.

This ~might~ be my favorite jazz album. While I have a recent CD, I also have the
original vinyl ;-)) I Love It! If you're not
familiar with it, may I strongly suggest you become so.
John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman ... check out the musicians ;-))
