Kind of made me sad ... not the capture but to realize the young lady will no longer be painting faces. I was actually expecting a capture of her painting Grace's face. ___ You can see my latest captures by visiting my Flickr page:

Thanks, Stan. As a general rule, I like creative filters. They don't work for all photos at all times to be sure, but I'm not a strict traditionalist and enjoy playing around with them. If I ever used an aged/yesteryear photo etc filter, I'd never try to pass it off as an older photograph;

Hi Jeffery, Yes, I thought some might wonder why I didn't shoot Lauren. In truth, I posted the pic linked below, because it's a better photo. But I've shot Grace and Lauren together many times. Here are a few. The first was today: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=13902980size=lg

No they used to go back at least 10 years. In fact if you do a Google search for a PDML subject you remember it will return earlier archived results, but not through the PDML archive index. There may be a problem Doug should look into. On 8/1/2011 1:02 AM, Tim Bray wrote: I was going to
