Listen Killer (yeah, yeah I know) she says, Didn't you leave that old camera you started with up in the closet ??
Well says I, think I did. So investigating I go.

It's an old one for sure (by today standards) but young at heart and still workable:

    Hey Ben always a pleasure to hear from you and to view your images. I'm really sorry that the economy chewed on your butt. Here's hoping for better times and gear real soon.

    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!"

    thanks Gale nice to trade words and images with you again as well.

    Let me take this opportunity to say, I'm not at all upset with my turn of events.
    You know it's only gear, sure I'd love to shot again with top of the pile stuff (I will :D),
    but for now I welcome the challange. I was tickled to find this old relic waiting patiently for my return :D.

    As far as what ............... call it a :

    Fluzzy, Panny or FZ20
    like I said I welcome the challange :ivar

    Hey Ben, I am confident that you will recover after this mess and I look forward to seeing those great hummingbird shots, but in the meantime, these are fine images. There is a lot crap going around with bankers still getting bonuses, insurance companies raking in profits galore, Big Oil execs still receiving subsidies for their companies and in the meantime, you and I suffer. It will pass. Stay strong!
