Just excellent.


I think it's important to repeat what someone else wrote earlier, and to
make another point.

1) The "excellent" pictures you're viewing are in greatly-reduced-
resolution digital representations of the real 4x5 transparencies.

2) The excellence comes from exquisitely skilled lighting, composition,
and framing, along with appropriate selection of subjects. Anybody with
a 10Mp camera can produce pictures with that _clarity_, but most wouldn't
likely be able to convey the _message_ with that clarity.
