I won't thank everyone individually, as I don't want to waste bandwidth, but a big, general thanks to all who posted. One never knows when a routine, thow-away photo may acquire some importance that surpasses the photo in and of itself. I suspect that may be the case here, judging by the reaction of those who saw it at the wake. The weekend started off pretty rough for me, but took a pretty good turn after the wake, so it's all good. <g> Thanks again, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
