And good wife Irene deserves it as she's had to put up with the photog in the family since 27 May 1950 when she gave me my first camera as a birthday present and launched me into photography. And yes I still have the original. :-) And trust me she's had to put up with a lot! ;-) However, she's still the best critic simply because she's been looking at my pictures for 52 years, so she's seen the good, the bad and ugly of the lot.
