A nice group of images, Don...Given the problem with Photo.net, I wonder
what they'd look like if you lightened them up in PS before sending
them...The one of Sharise would probably really gain from that...It's
obviously a really nice shot, but the shadows are just two blocked up -
which I suspect has much more to do with Photo.net than it does with you...

Best

That 15 really is awsome - especially for, what is it, $15? ;-)

This week I started out working with the 15mm and working really close.  The
first image is in a Starbucks in Buckhead.  This is a great place, about
three minutes before I took this shot Governor Barnes and his wife had
stopped in for some espresso, no hassle, no one notices, life goes on.

The second image was taken a little later in the day.  Sharise is a
wonderful young lady who is always full of good cheer and a positive outlook
on life.  I think this image captures her spirit.  Yes, photo.net does add
contrast.

The third image is back at the OK Cafe.  I liked how this Gentleman could
read his NYTimes with chaos around him.  Shot with the Jupiter 3 at around
2.  I wanted to see how the 15mm shots looked before I kept using the lens.

The last image is from the same time as the third image.  I just liked how
she smiled.  I kept a high vantage point as that is how you see her when
paying your tab.  So, kind of a slice of life thing.

With the Enron debacle those electrons are especially cheap and we need to
put those people back to work.  Consume those electrons for the good of laid
off hard working humans.
