Well, that's just fine if they didn't come out like "Newton pictures". Long time since I realized, that there is absolutely no point in trying to duplicate other artists works, and even if you try it the hardest and are good at it, you can never really avoid creating something that will be uniquely your own. My opinion about Newton's works is divided. However I intend too to try to do some shooting in his vein, so to speak. Now, where to find willing models around here...? Lasse > anders
