The tiny web resolution probably doesn't do justice to them. From other art 
sites I see that the prints are almost 2 metres wide, so it's certainly 
quite impressive to see them on a wall. The focal blur makes them look like 
model miniatures, but the zones in focus show the tiny details (people, cars 
etc.).

Model miniatures ready to be crushed by space invaders or terrorists.  As
the artist, Olivo Barbieri, says:  "After 9/11 the world had become a
little bit blurred because things that seemed impossible happened."

Focal blurring using to great artistic effect indeed, rather than just
selling jeans or soda in hip TV ads...

Yeah... I see what you mean. OK. Not really my thing, but I understand the 
idea better now. My thick braincase generates a time delay varying between a 
few seconds to a couple of days. I never can tell :-)

Since everyone is throwing in their two cents: perhaps a seperate 
disturbatable guide would be in order. Perhaps either a wiki of sorts could 
be setup and contribute tutorials along a specific layout (to be 
consistant). If the layout is designed carefully enough it maybe exportable 
to a static html for offline viewing (or PDF/PS for printing). This will 
definantly be someone of a project if taken up (my site don't have the 
monthly bandwidth, and I currently don't have time to make the necessary 
mods to the wiki software I have, at least in a timely manner), but I think 
that it would solve the problem of where such documentation should go and be 
an assit to the POV-Ray community. Just my two cents of course (maybe a 
nickle).

Thanks,
Jonathan
