Thanks, Mark
   I do appreciate the comments on http://www.sonc.com/helpdesk.htm , and I
toyed with making the shot my PAW, but I have another spot for it on my
webpage.

 I loved the shot as I was taking it, and knew it was going to be a funny
shot.  It  also stands as a statement on the Non-"Politically correct"
attitude of Southern women, and that "Miss Magnolia doesn't live here
anymore."

I like calling it a snapshot, but truth is, it was taken at an airshow this
past weekend, and I guess qualifies more as streetshooting than almost any
of my other recent work has.  I stalked her, got my picture, let her see
that I was taking it, waited for her smile, said "Thank you, Ma'am," and
left. (yes, Ma'am has two syllables down here.)

Thanks,
SonC
