Oh well. I took one shot with a throw away camera. I scanned from the print not the neg, and photo.net didn't like my original so I had to go back into photoshop after an hour of frustration on photo.net and use the CREATE FOR WEB thing... so the technical glitches may have come from that. Nothing behind that chair - too bad it doesn't work for you - it is one of my favorites - I do wish I'd gotten it with better equipment, but I'm lucky I was able to take a picture at all that day. I do think it has enough emotional impact to share it with others. But then you and I really are seldom on the same page re what we shoot and what we like. ann > > > Cat pic: Really a cute and friendly looking cat. It made me very upset to > know that he died.
