i did not like to see my name overwhelm this section of the forum, so limit now the posts to a single thread. let us see how it progresses

the 'soldier' picture is a digital work, created using software that allows one to work in vector instead of raster, and that is quite important. several people have intimated how much they prefer black and white pictures, but a clear explanation remains elusive when cross-examined. they drive motor cars, listen to pink floyd, have mobile telephones and electric kettles - even watch 'westworld' on colour televisions - so it must be a sort of selective old fashionness. or perhaps, if one believes in reincarnation, the subconscious remnants of a memory embedded in a victorian existence; horse and carts, workhouses, chimney sweep children, jack the ripper and all that. well yes, they did have lillie langtry - i'll admit that.
