I promised more shots from the Vivitar 35-85mm f2.8 varifocal so here
they are in no particular order.

It showed up twice for me, FWIW.  No problem, because I'm having list
and/or internet/e-mail problems, too.
I like the first one - nice narrow dof, lovely bokeh, I like the
grain.  What film did you use?
 

The execrable Kodak Max 400.  Scans nicely though.  The web size doesn't 
do justice to the full scan. 

The second one (bridge) is the weakest of the bunch, IMHO.  Not a bad
shot, just doesn't say much to me, I guess.
I like the boardwalk photo.  It would be ordinary except for the
shadow.  That really emphasizes the feeling of perspective, IMHO.
Kittens is a lovely informal portrait.  The young lady looks very
relaxed and happy.  Who is she?
 

I don't know her name, she hangs out in the coffee shop I frequent a 
friend of one of the employees. 
She's done some paid modeling for a local pro-photographer IIRC.  (Now, 
now Frank, it's not what you
think, at least it better not be she's probably barely 17).

cheers,
frank

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
