Richard has an idea on how he wants the images to look like, color and processing wise, and I believe it isn't incumbent on us to tell him how WE want anything to look, other than what he inquired about. As to the fuzzy vs. not question, I agree that it may work quite well with his vision if the modern cars etc. are not there. Jay PS: If you just read what the internet has to say, "they" say people don't do black & white or use film anymore. Not seen anything out there about fuzzy photos, myself, so I've no opinion on it being right or wrong.
