Well, I think that's kind of the point that was being made. If you *did* notice that Harrison Ford was having a bad day on the set, it would be because the director and the rest of the technical crew, and also Harrison Ford, didn't do their jobs right. As you correctly point out, that kind of thing isn't supposed to come through to the audience. When people's reaction to the photo is that kind of thing, that means the photo didn't work for those people. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> Much of which is still down
