she wants to lay off the pies a bit, no self respect any more these young women.

I think it was a general lack of laying off that got her into this beautiful mess (and lovely photo!)

It's cool to take pictures I actually like, instead of what I think others might like

yep, and also to work with decent people. I've stopped the past 6 months simply because I've not been working with fresh people. Still been doing commercial stuff but thats boring, easy and no challenge though had some interesting developments as a result of recent work.

dibbley how do you mean?

Follow this http://www.displaycalibration.com/ - its not 100% accurate but put it this way what I get on screen matches excactly what I get on print.

Last night I pissed around with gimp and just did a burn of 50% on the mid tones in her face but the main light balance was set to a warm flash either that or jaundice

Am I looking at different picture? What yellow caste?

[stigmundfreud]

there is no replacement for film, or slide imo
