Re: PESO - Among Friends
Vinyl LPs seem to be doing just fine. I expect that commercial CDs have a lower chance of survival. Paper books are easier to produce than either, but they will probably be much more expensive.

I feel this could use some curves adjustments though. The dark tones seem to be choked up, and a few too many of the books disappear into murkiness. It's good to see a bookshop like this one. My current fave is Dencan Books up in The Junction, and you must check it out and say Hi to Eddie if you're ever up there. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - Among Friends
Nice. It's unusual to find any young person absorbed in a library of paper books these days. At the cafes, most of the readers are either sitting with Kindles, Nooks, and iPads. That is, when they're not communicating. ;-) G On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 4:49 AM, frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: It was so nice to see a young lad ~not~ on a computer or playing a video game.
