Good On Ya Tim,

I always have a serious respect for those that are prepared to make the 
sacrifice to do what they love (I am a little envious too!).

You say you would rather die than do "duty work" - that is what is 
bothering me - ie. we all die and I am also doing duty work, hideous 
thought......One More Powerball and I am outa here. (Lotto here!)
I think my passion for photography is leading me into a "mid-life crisis".
Have warned my daughter not to expect any inheritance (LOL), selling house 
and living in a caravan - travelling around - dream on....at least she 
will inherit a Leica - also urging her to be sure to have children so she 
can leave the Leica too.  (LOL)
