You have some lovely photos, in all your albums. I really like your versatility, and I especially like the reflections photos. What fun to play with them in Photoshop! You made some very kind comments in my guest book and asked about 'pushing' the sharpen in order to increase grain and so forth in my Idaho shots. Most of the work was nothing more than desaturating the photo (to make them b/w), tweaking the contrast and, if needed, burning in some of the highlights. If I added grain, I simply used the "add noise" filter, adjusting the slider until it looked about right. I've done lots of journalistic photography and I have a kind of soft spot for that harsh, grainy, Speed Graphic look. Thanks for your thoughts and for your invite. You're stuff is good. Keep up the good work. nuvostef

Great idea, congratulations for the feature! I notice no one else has ventured any guesses about #15 (Guess what it is). Looks like ghosts and goblins to me, very appropriate for Halloween! My favorite ghost is the little guy riding a dinosaur, wearing a sombrero and sunglasses (just a little up and to the left of center). Jon, Seattle.
