I also enjoyed the content and composition of the images. I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd and specially 'The Wall' but had I not known the topic of the essay I would not have enjoyed them any less. I assumed from Jeff's original post that he had somewhat hastily set up this display so that we could share his work. I too had to scroll the images to get them on my screen but they fit once scrolled. It really wasn't a problem for me though. I began to read John's critique of Jeff's web page but found it to be a little extreme. Then I got bored and boiled up a bag of elbow macaroni and hastily build an inverted scale model of the Sistine Chapel then passed out and never got to the nasty bit at the end of John's post.
