    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!"

    OH MY, that is my highest compliment, and I have said it several times today. This seems to have been a productive weekend for many.

    But that butterfly, WOW! tripod? how? that is gorgeous. Just gorgeous.
