I had some soccer mom tell me the other day that I should ditch all my film gear and get a "digital", all the while waving her little Kodak in my face or holding it at arm's length for shaky snapshots of her ugly kids standing in front of something passably touristy. Unfortunately, this not an uncommon occurrence. I briefly considered the camera as weapon approach, but then told her in words loud enough for her brats to hear that no one interested in actually looking at the photos later on would be caught dead with that piece of shit. I've been cranky lately. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
