Hi Steve,

It's REALLY tough to tell much about what a print would look like from a web
image though...

Actually, my comment was from the samll images...they do look more "natural"
from the larger versions.  The only information I could find about some of
the images, is that the Spring 1999 show was shot with a view camera and B&W
film, and that they he "Using a computer, he gives his photographs their
unusual gold coloring and has them printed on color paper."

They certainly are nice images!

Regards,

Austin
