I'll guess it was mostly because I wsa playing guess the exposure... I'm so
looking forward to the spot metering of the OM-2SP, should it ever come
back from repair in the not far distant future... (it's been due back
"before the weekend" for about a month now ... maybe it'll arrive before
christmas...)

No, I admit that the downstairs ones are somewhat over the top, but I quite
like them. But a bit more detail on the faces would be useful.

In fairness, the site is a friend's ... though the stuff in the various
/paddy/ directories are mine. He's mostly seen wielding various C*nons,
but he develops my B&W films so I can't complain. ;)
