the camera move, and snap, he's got you!<<<

Aaaah the joys of watching a professional at work, naw it isn't work as he's
havng fun. :-) 

>>>I was standing next to him when he shot 
http://www.sonc.com/american_landscape_ok.htm
and I saw the look of interest in his eye and watched him move around 
but never did see him raise the camera to his eye to take the shot; I'm 
not really sure he did.<<<<<<

And that is the secret to fine real life moments of picture taking. Much
like you never hear the bullet that hits you! "Click" and it's done! :-)

>>>And how are you doing way up there in the frozen north, my old mentor 
and friend?<<<<

We're fine for a couple of "old folks" ;-) Although the "frozen north" is
hanging around a bit longer than normal..  Global warming be damned, it sure
isn't happening here! :-)

It appears of recent months the older I've become the more I'm involved in
magical assignments. Sort of like in greater demand for some cool things, so
I guess I'll just have to stick to my old motto:

"I've become a mean assed son of a bitch. GOD wont have me and the Devil
wont take me. So I'm here forever!! Live with it. ;-)

>>>>I'm doing fine down here, smiling through the raindrops and waiting for 
my next M8.  The first one worked for thirty days and the second one 
worked for thirty minutes.  Do you suppose the third time is the charm?<<<<

Sorry to hear about that kind of stuff, sure screws up a belief in a camera.
Hopefully the third one will be perfect! I'd bloody well hope so.

>>> I guess with age comes patience, if not wisdom.<<<

Well there better be something for lasting a long time. ;-) Me? I don't know
about the wisdom part, I suppose a little. As I sure as hell don't have much
patients left for the way the world is going these days. :-(
