Of course, "liking" it isn't quite right - because it is disturbing. You never mentioned if you were familiar with and of the films we've associated this photo with - the 1950's Body snatchers film, The Truman Show, Pleasantville. Just curious. It is one photo where shooting really fast with a digital camera enhanced it. Hell of a capture for a grab shot I say. Did Imention I liked it? :) ann > > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
