Thanks in advance. > > -- > Nick Wright > http://www.wrightfoto.com/ Hi Nick, A sharp lens (I use Pentax's FA100/2.8 macro) strong light, and any of the many cheap and abundant consumer print films found in the photo aisle at Target or Walmart will do an excellent job of recording marks, blemishes, scars, clogged pores, wrinkles, spider veins, zits, chaffing, dead skin, oily skin, dry skin, skin that needs a good scrubbing with a strong solvent, pock marks and the like quite well. Hope that helps, Dan Scott (unflattering portrait specialist)
