    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!"

    Very nice collection. I especially like the painted bunting. I have never seen one of these before.

    I would assume so and even more confusing is that the gorget is actually a bright purple when it shines, black otherwise, hence the name. :D
