Dodge Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Stefano, Truly a work of art! The file (?) work on the spine is incredible!

Dodge Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Photography is also a hobby of mine, although I rarely have time these days to dabble. I took some college courses in the 80s but the advancements in digital have spoiled me Besides, film and processing is too cost prohibitive for me so my darkroom equipment sits in storage :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
