Hi John,

You have pinpointed one of the big problems of posting on the web, that you have no control over the look of your pictures on other monitors. They look fine on mine, and also on
the one I have at work. But I realise that this is not always the case.

As for the cook, I really wanted a shot where he was simply drinking, but people were walking in front of me all the time, and I had to take what I could get. He was not posing
for me.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Nathan
