Garrrry - the last image - is that scanned in as shot - no added editing I assume?

Yes. These are all scanned about a decade ago ... by today's standards, crummy scanner, crummy software and no post processing. I probably should go back and perform some PhotoShop magic ... but I'm too lazy. I have been removing my HCB, super-egotistical, no-crop black borders from my old stuff. But that is done in the little free processing program included with my Smugmug account.

Because I like it as is. These old photos are authentic.  Please don't re-process these images -

Am I the only one to find that "Patrice" looks more like a "Patricia" ??? :-)

Gary, you must have loads of stories to tell. These images are spectacular on their own, but when I read where they were taken, well, I am left speechless...
