Re: PESO: Proud Graduate

Ken, I think it has always been a problem for the engineers. A high school buddy went to Illinois and was advised to take an extra year in Chem Engineering to graduate in '67. It's about the perceived need to cram more into the curriculum. Not so fair (not fare). Regards, Bob S. On Tue, Jun 18, 2

Re: PESO: Proud Graduate

Dan and Mark, I can't speak to grade inflation, but probably spent 20 years as an alumni interviewer for MIT. And sometimes I had positions to fill at work and floods of applicants. It wasn't fare, but usually the applicants from the good schools we just plain better than the rest. Perhaps it's a

Re: GESO: Alisa W. photo shoot -- 6/17/13 (50 images)

Walt, That's a very nice set to start with. The model has an absolute 'moon' face. This could be good or bad for her photos, but it raises some real possibilities for you. Her smile has the Taylor Swiftish look like Frank mentioned, but some of the more sober expressions are really beautiful. She d

Re: PESO: Mark B. (Another workplace shot)

Walt, The M28/2.8 lens can be disappointing. Years ago I struggled with it on film with my Pentax ME. After one very careful shot on a tripod at sunrise, I gave up. It is not 'the sharpest knife in the drawer.' Keep up the good work. You are posting some classy images. Your customers and that sun
