Forgot to mention the sans lens shade. Me I feel I'm more of a Mr. Magoo than you And Tyler too. I have a big bruise on my arm right now from having walked into a doorjamb. It's turned a green color I think. Maybe its an inner ear thing. Probably when they beamed me up they didn't put the inner ears back right. Or I got caught in THEIR doorjamb of the airlock. Just because they're Aliens doesn't mean they know everything. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
