i think, it depends on how you take the shoot, but frankly, i don't feel the snaps are that bad. may be compared to your other pictures or when you compared to what you had in your mind it was not satisfactory. b&w are sometimes a little grainy - however, i feel it gives a different feel - i personally liked it.
btw, are you commercial photographer ? in that case i think if you would have used digital camera straight way, it would have been far easier and superior too. >From: tom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: pdml <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: A Week in the Life >Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 02:35:45 -0700 > >I had a client who got married about a month ago, and they moved out of >state shortly thereafter.
