Hey Jimbo, :)

I do like Ernst Haas' work! :) I always have, he actually was a motivator
of mine in seeing colour during my early days. The only problem was, nobody
believed I could shoot colour even when I showed them things that "looked
like" Haas had shot it. But it didn't make any difference they just kept
giving me B&W documentaries and photo stories to shoot! :)

I wouldn't mind doing peeling paint if only I could find some that was
still breathing! :)  Besides my new R8 is on it's way, so maybe I'll use it
to shoot some non-breathing things to test it out! :)
