Nice, I remember being wowed by that very same hardware and those nice low res portraits they included as sample images.
Nice tech throwback and still an interesting image!

The expression on the girl's face reminds me of a shot by Joe McNally in which his model is in a sleazy motel room looking out a rainy window. His main light was a speedlight across the parking lot and the result is memorable.

Yes I like it, I like it a lot.

Don't know whether it's my Photoshop addled mind, but I can't help wondering what it would look like merged together seamlessly into a single image?

But all I can really say is that I like it, a lot.

Dave

What a fascinating face to draw or photograph.
