1. Great stuff!
You do nice work. What kind of camera do you use?

2. Thank you!
Those images were procured by one or more of the following:

* Minolta Maxxum 5 SLR (35mm, ISO100 portrait or slide film)
* Sony Mavica CD500 (digital)
* Canon Powershot G9 (digital)
* Casio EX-Z7 (digital)
* Sony A100 D-SLR (digital)

The 35mm images scanned with a dedicated film scanner to preserve sharpness detail; I've fooled people into believing some of those are native digital pics. What I ought to do is more regularly convince people that a digital image looks like good portrait film (eg. the Fuji Reala 100); film has so much better dynamic range/shadow detail, and digital is more or less comparable to slide film regarding contrasts...

6. All of it I am responsible for, yes.
Just in case: I found a bug, which I will correct in the site code - as I virtually never use IE, I never noticed until it was too late. (I used Microsoft Expression Web in conjunction with Expression Media, with a homemade template -- both apps of which also exists for the Mac, and one would think that, in a Microsoft product, the output displayed would be identical to native IE. Nope! grr... it's not a big bug, but it's driving me nuts as I'm anal retentive...)

I'll try to have that fixed tonight... I also found some more source image files that have gone corrupt somehow and need to be repaired, if possible. (90% of my archive is intact, but some of that 10% is worthwhile to recover. I hate computers.)
