Hi Y'all.

I went down to the Viera Wetlands on Sunday and it was very hazy with soft light,

The reason for my visit was that I had put out a casting call to the local birds to see who would appear at the Merritt Island IV shoot (2/4-2/11). The turnout was pretty good.

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!"

    There will be some very talented shooters down here in Feb. I hope to have a group rate set up at one of the local motels/hotels by the end of this week. I will be posting updates in the sticky here.
