The girl in the midground, looking down at the crammer could add a lot if she was more noticeable. 2)In the second one, the light was definitely working for you. I like how the tables look like stepping stones, back to the cliques in the background. The graininess actually adds to the atmosphere. 3) The third one you caught the perfect moment. Glasses usually mess me up because they cut out part of the pupils but somehow you got them to make the eyes look bigger and more expressive. How did you get the students to ignore you in this on? Since you obviously bent down to frame the shoot they must have seen you, yet there acting perfectly normal look. You might want to try burning in the paper to make it not completely white because it gets distracting. These all show why I need to break down and get that 28mm rokkor (instead of the heliar). What lens did you use? What film did you use for inside? Good job. David Degner At 10:06 PM 12/17/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Last week was finals week at my daughters school.
