Thanks, Paul, but I hope to never have the opportunity to shoot any of my own oral surgery. So far the teeth are doing pretty well for my age, by gum (get it? teeth? gum?). My last (and only) surgery was elective. It took place in such a delicate and sensitive area, that there is no freaking way that I was going to be holding a camera in such a position so as to take photos of the event. In fact, such contortion may well have been impossible (and undesirable). And, believe me, no one would have wanted to see the photos. <eeewwww> 'Nuff said... cheers, frank -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
