8/28    Hi, anybody printed a photo image to a big plotter?  Something like
        36"x36"?  I'm wondering how many megapixels the image need to
        have in order for the print to "look good".  There is a rule of
        thumb?  Like 6 megapixel is good for X size print.  10 megapixel
        is good for Y size print.  Thanks.
        \_ You don't need that many more megapixels for much bigger prints,

4/2     Can someone please click on the nytimes link below and look at the
        top photo (with the living room). I've been searching for a
        poster like that for a few years now; it looks like a blurry
        photo of buildings at night. Does anyone know where I could
        find such a poster, or a similar one, or even what the name of
        such a photo/poster might be? Thanks in advance.

04/02   Anybody know of a program that can generate a big picture collage from
        a lot of smaller pictures?   I'm not looking for a regular photo
        collage maker that just puts the pictures in tiles one after another.
        The big picture being generated can be something like a company
        logo and the small pictures can be company employees photos.  I've
        seen those in annual reports but I don't know how they're generated.

           but evidently sociopaths make good neurosurgeons.

The Lookout - 21 hrs ago American Girl' photo: American Girl in Italy, 1951 1952, 1980 Ruth Orkin / Courtesy of ... A stunning young woman walks down a street in Florence, her head held high. among the most popular snapshots of all time, and it's turning 60 years old this month. The photo, which was shot in 1951, perfectly captures the fun and romance of being abroad. about what happened behind the scenes and what the photo really represents. In her "Today" appearance, Craig spoke about how, despite what some might say, the photo isn't a "symbol of harassment." Craig insists that the image is "a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time." Craig should know--when the photo was taken, she was a 23-year-old traveling alone through Europe. While staying at a cheap hotel, Craig met photographer Ruth Orkin, who was also touring the continent solo. The two spoke about the fun and challenges of being alone while on the road in Italy--and went on to hatch a plan to take photos highlighting that experience. For two hours, the photographer and amateur model walked the streets of Florence. According to Craig, Orkin shot only two pictures of her walking down the macho street. One of them turned out to be the iconic image commemorated today. As for whether or not the photo was staged, Craig says no way. "The big debate about the picture, which everyone always wants to know, is: Was it staged? You don't have 15 men in a picture and take just two shots. The only thing that happened was that Ruth Orkin was wise enough to ask me to turn around and go back and repeat" the walk down the street. In the interview, Craig also remarked that she never felt in danger while walking among the admiring men. phil about an hour ago Why is she the only woman in the picture? Weren't there Italian women around, even grumbling grandmothers sweeping the sidewalks? I saw a couple of unprepared young American women in Brindisi, set upon by the local up-and-humpers. Donald Williamson 2 hours ago Seems attractive women still have to remind us how much is to be gained in physical attraction! Does it matter that I see a frightened young thing and no one seems to care? Not on your life, my Mom or Grandma would have tanned my hide for such lecherous behavior! But now some 60 years later she's remembered for a photo! If I want to be remembered will the numerous times I was on the sports page of my local paper be shown?
