Hey, folks...

I've sent off a few new JPEGs to Kevin for inclusion in the rec.kites
archive.  They are:

kling.jpg:  yet another picture of my 3/4 tracer.  I'd have to say that the
original that this was scanned from is one of my all-time favorite kite
pictures.  The kite is made of carrington and my sister-in-law managed to
capture the kite glowing despite a dark, cloudy backdrop.  Don't ask about
the filename... ;-)

revs.jpg:  a picture of two stacked custom Revs hovering in front of the
Washington Monument.  These are the icarex revs I've mentioned a few times.

martian.jpg:  Unfortunately, the pictures of Martian's Legs I'd been
waiting to get from my brother weren't as good as I'd hoped.  The colors
are rather dull and they're basically just medicore pictures.  I went ahead
and scanned one, then fiddled with the colors a bit.  The green on the legs
is still rather muted out, but I managed to give the whole thing a very
surreal backdrop...some might say extra-terrestrial.  But hey, at least the
claws are visible.

All three of these scans are full color (24-bit) scans, 800x800 or bigger.
I had pretty good results converting them to GIF and viewing them on a
graphics card only capable of 256 colors. 

Kevin has told me that the files have been received in good condition and
they should be in the archives Real Soon Now.  Thanks, kevin...

Hope you enjoy them.

Jeff
