[Leica] [OM] IMG: The Blessing, Redone

[Ken Carney]

Well, I have yet to have someone complain and wanting their zit back.  
But I do remove just really bad zits, the ones with neon. This somewhat 
reminds me of an interview I heard with Glenn Gould: Interviewer, 
sometimes it almost sounds as if there were two pianos...GG, In a manner 
of speaking, there were, as I laid down a second track.  Interviewer,  
Good Lord, man, do you realize what you're saying?  Or words to that 
effect.  Whatever, Tina's adjusted photo is far better IMHO.
