Hi everyone,

I think its been a little over two years since I last checked in here.
Nice you see so many familiar names still discussing tea bags (Red Rose
Rules!), whisky, Collins radios, and various flavours of Noctili.... And
other stuff I have swore off talking about in mixed nationalities.

Just spent an hour looking to see what Kyle has been up to. :^)  Sorry to
see he has gotten a hair cut, gone commercial and "respectable" on us.
...what's with the levitation thing???  :^)  Just kidding Kyle! ... Love
your world.  ...is that a real nickel plated Beretta 9mm or that cheap
Brazilian knock-off?  ...Taurus or something?

...AND TED HAS A NEW BOOK!!!  Way to go Ted!

I spent the past two years putting working on a book (mostly Leica made pix)
about Newfoundland with author Michael Crummey

http://www.mcclelland.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=0771061420

....Moved from the fishing village back to the city ...which was a fishing
village, too...

We have taken up adopting Greyhounds from the USA.

I still have my M6's (with 21, 35, 90) but all the Nikon F3's and F4's have
given way to D100 and D2H digitals.
Sad to say but I have only shot 3 assignments with the Leicas since last
August. Forbes and Canadian Geographic still want chrome. Which are great
gigs but too few and far between. The third was "optional" ...so I chose the
Leica and Fujichrome 100.

Not much in the way of pictures to show right now but I am getting back at
it and I should have my websites cleaned up in the next week or so and will
let everyone have a look at what I've been up too in the past 2 years.

...iceberg season is starting here  AHHHH! SPRING!!
