If you would like to see some really great photographs, dreamlike and almost surreal, see the work of Czech famest photographer, Josef Sudek (he is long dead now) - see his still-lifes and landscapes, like those made through the window of his "studio". But only some of his pictures are such. He used a largeformat camera. At least something should be on the web somewhere. Frantisek This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
