Sparse Compositions 2 on the way? > Thanks for the heads-up on Sugimoto - http://www.hirshhorn.si.edu/ > sugimoto/photography.htm gives a lot of pause for thought.

From: Peter Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Like a three chord rock song, simple but appealling. > Three shades of grey. From: Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Well, it may be bald faced or even bold faced, but rather like it. > Nice shot and rendering! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
