    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!"

    Seriously Ben, you are a helpful person, a very good photographer and an asset to this forum clap.gif

    Hey John there just starting to show around here in numbers. This one here is a regular in my backyard. Just wish I had shots of me running around trying to capture him, probably better then then the Hummer shots themselves!! rolleyes1.gifne_nau.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Hi Steve so glad to see you stop by. Miss your work, but I understand.

    A tee would be cool :):

    I will start thinking about what lens I want now, cause it'll only be a couple months :wow

    These kind of things are very complicated and time consuming. So Andy should start the proceedings now, as I'm sure it will be just a couple years before I'm there :wow :wow rolleyes1.gif :lol

    lesson to be learned! I actually went to your SM page to purchase a shot of the hummer (for reals)

    I can't get an image cropped properly because of your title block. Take a look and let me know what you think.

    I've had several requests for various images of mine.

    Here's the deal, let me know what you want and I will put the high res image up without my framing.

    I'm going to start a gallery where requested images will reside and you can purchase from there if you'd like. It will be password protected, so you'll need to email me for that.

    The on my gallery are mostly downsized for quality viewing on the net.

    I hope that make sense, and thanks so much for your interest ! thumb.gif
