Nathan,

I looked at PAW 22, and thought "Nathan's lost it...he's posting the same
picture!" But I reviewed your site, and realized that it was PAW14 that I
remembered. Remarkable consistency. I think you could do a thematic study
showing the evolution of your daughter and the changing books on the shelf!

BTW, I've always enjoyed the "airy-ness" of your images. Are they printed
then scanned, or scanned direct from negatives? I'd like some technical
details if you don't mind.

cheers,

jim
