Wow, Greg, Knowing the details makes this photo even more special. Do you feel like teaching me on (or off) list how to do this type work? I've been a professional photographer for 14 years but never had much interest in playing with the pictures till now. Really want to learn new ways to artfully manipulate my images. Would I need a darkroom? I have the availability to use my bathroom after dark (for a darkroom). No pun intended. Thanks.
