Hunt (who won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as "Billy," the male dwarf photographer). Some really strong black and white stuff supposedly shot by "Billy." Anyone? B.

If it is called a photograph and accepted as such by people who know what was done to it, then photographs lose all meaning as portrayals of an instant of reality. Whatever reality may be. Nice job though, Sonny! ;-) B.
