If only, Tina, mine looked like Jacques Lowe's.:-)
I can only ask, after looking at this collection, being reminded of how
incredibly good he was - and of the fact that he shot all of this
between the ages of a 26-31 - where did he go afterwards?

I heard the interview on NPR with Jacques Lowe's assistant who
supervised 
the printing of the photos for the book.  He said that the digital
copies 
made from the contact sheets made better prints than the original
negatives!!

The one's I saw on TV (20/20 maybe?) looked beautiful - really intimate 
family photos like you take, B.D.  I'm looking forward to getting the
book.
