Dear Terry and Roger, As said in the presentation, I was emailed the photos some time ago and the impression they caused on me was such that almost immediately I showed them at Jill Bachman's forum. Then I chanced to see them again this morning and following an impulse, I decided to present them here too. But thus far I did not know who Jean Michel Jarre - their purported author - was or is. At least, his name did not register when I first read it. I should know better, and it is all my fault. Jean Michel Jarre is actually a well known composer and interpreter of electronic music and the winner of several awards for his celebrated futuristic works. They include Oxygene, his first and most famous work, and others like Equinoxe. He is the son of Maurice Jarre, also a most famous musician and author of soundtracks for several great films like Dr Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, and Ghost. There is a lot of information about him in Wikipedia and many other sources. But not a word about him also being a photographer. So who is the real author of the fabulous futuristic images that I have presented as the work of Jean Michel Jarre? It has become a mystery, at least for me. I have tried to find the Power Point presentation where I first saw them among my documents in my computer, but to no avail. I will try again tomorrow, but since I receive about thirty ot forthy Power Points in a month and I guess it has been several months since I received the missing one, I am not very sure that I will find it. If any one can help me find out who that author is, the information will be most welcome, for he obviously is a genius as a photographer. Sincerely, Luis Miguel Goitizolo
