Hi Guy,

Good try! :-)  But these days why would one waste time doing all that when they
can knock off a couple of quick Leica frames, go home, wing 'em into PhotoShop
and create visualizing just twitching the keyboard! :-)

Why one could even throw down a good single malt while playing with the pre
visualized image via PhotoShop! ;-)
