Mark, when are you going to stop being so lazy, and make something of your life! <vbg> Seriously, you've been rather busy of late, haven't you? Sounds like some interesting and rewarding projects you've got on the go! Those are some amazing b&w's from GFM you've got there, too. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
