Nice approach.<br /> <br />I'm by no means a good/competent photographer even though I developed my first film prints about 50 years ago (Kodak Tri-X) and I'm doing digital ever since Sony Macica cameras.<br /><br />It's nice that you occasionally also go totally off-topic like your story of the 2 girls -fascinating stuff.<br /><br />Overall? I hate to be positive but I just like what you do.<br /><br />heikki<br /> <br />hekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522594726367171268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-78168377040018982752014-03-06T20:48:03.390-08:002014-03-06T20:48:03.390-08:00Hi Garry,

You inadvertently reminded me that I have to update my address with Cameracraft too! Can you suggest a contact link for this?
