December 2002

Well, the Fuji S2 is less than spectacular. Oh, the camera is alright... but their service and quality are very, very bad. 

After returning my first S2 body because it had a sensor spot on the bottom right edge and had power problems, I got another body with a similar sensor spot. There is a grizzly story about FedEx and the Fuji company that I don't want to speak about here. 

Photos from December are mostly done with the S2 unless otherwise indicated.

Merry Xmas, Officer. Not a good night for this fellow. They gave him a choice and he decided to go to jail.

I admit that I goosed the blue a bit. It was like this in my mind's eye, though.

I swear that nothing was done to the yellow. I love these colors. 

The bird man. I goosed contrast a little. Well, ok, a lot. I need to do some work on this in Photoshop instead of Paintshop. When I get done it will be exactly what I saw in my head.
