Just playing devil's advocate for a moment, Shel - you could say that
viewing a small 600 pixel square pic on a computer screen that was
originally a print from a 10x8 neg is not paying tribute to the original,
either.

I, too, made the same mistake as Marnie, and (at first) did not bother
clicking on any of the thumbnails to investigate further - which is
really strange for me as I almost always give the benefit of the doubt.
However, I did, and soon saw the error i made. The pics are fine studies
of the human being seemingly ad hoc, on a daily basis. I really liked them.

maybe this is what the internet does to us, makes us a 'must have faster
and faster' society? I am ashamed to say that I am slowly falling into
that trap. Patience is indeed a virtue.
