Is it the elusive jjbeguin??

And if it is...holy cow would that have been a great meeting of the lenses!!

Okay, it's a Minolta Dimage 5. Based on that, I'm guessing Hendrik. But if it's him, one of the two of you has traveled a long ways!

But I got the camera right ... right?

I had to scan a bunch of photos of cameras to pick it out of the pack. I then went to see who had the highest rated images with that camera and came up with a female. Those don't look like a female's hands, so that's why I guessed Hendrik.

Right; one likes to imagine JJ as being a tad more elegant, don't you think?

Dang, I assumed it had to be the Dimage 5 because of the "5.2" that was visible in the picture. But the Dimage 7 is a 5.2mp camera!

I donno; he's pretty much determined to continue with his own, unique vision as far as I can tell :-) And more power to him! His work is not a "joke" to him, by the way; as far as I can tell, it's pretty much how he wants it to be. He has a rather quirky vision...
