    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Actually, you are partially correct. No, I'm not shooting much...nothing new about that this time of year. I purchased PS CS4 back in December and have been picking out shots that had detail but were lacking in other ways for practice. So, look out when the sun starts shining up this way, Dan!wings.gif
