I welcome all constructive criticism. they all look great on my monitor. I'm using a Dell with a 19" (Sony) Dell monitor and Windows95 (when it doesen't crash). The lettering is fine also. I really like the web page and the way they are constructed. >Peter, take a look at the Honduras portfolio.

Iraq could have gone either way, I suppose, but I >prefer it in black and white. Wow, you are good!!! I especially liked the Honduras and Guatemalan portfolios. I also concur that the Guatemala shots look great in color and would have lost a lot in B&W. The color is fantastic. In many of the pictures of all the portfolios I feel that I can almost wee into the souls of the people!! You have a whole web page full of pictures of a quality that I wish I could take two or three of as well in my lifetime! I know you use the Noct a lot. What else did you use for the Guatemala pics??? 75/1.4?? The focus is smack on. I am really impressed with the exposure you have on the Honduras pictures. A lot of shadow detail and the highlights are not burned out (except one or twice in the widows which doesn't count. However, I remember one where there was even detail through the window. Did you hand meter any??? What film did you use?? Impressed is an understatment. The LUG mom has done it again. Dick
