When I first set up my web site I was shocked to see how my images appeared when viewed on other people's monitors. I have since fiddled a bit with gamma and contrast and brightness, so I think they should be OK now, but I always keep this in mind when viewing other people's web images. In the case of Mr. Hughes images, I think the "flatness" apparent in some of them *may* be a result of poor scanning. On the other hand, I see some beautiful shadow detail in some of them, which makes me think that the original prints may be very nicely printed. Dan C.
