Are they still on the web somewhere? It would be good to see them again.

I've spent my leisure time over the past few days reworking several
galleries because my photos don't look right on the new monitor.
These galleries are mainly E-1 photos and they look best when the
settings are pretty much straight from the camera: normal saturation,
daylight WB, etc. My old monitor on VGA was thin on color and I had
to bump up saturation a bit to make them look right. It always
bothered me and I assumed the color was actually thin coming from the
camera!
I believe that for me minimalist post processing and more
concentration on using the camera essentially to get the shot I want
is the discipline I desire. There is something depressing about
taking a marginal image and trying to make something good out of it in
post. Perhaps I am creeping towards a philosophy of shooting jpg
only!
