It sounds like I'm the one in trouble! I was under the impression that there was a venerable tradition of claiming pictures taken under your direction by an assistant as your own... Maybe if I lie some more and say that the assistant was a cow? or tell the truth: that it was my wife, and thus no *cheating* was involved. She has already taken more than her share of abuse from this list, having appeared in a gallery submission and subsequently referred to as "the object on the right". Maybe I should grow my beard out, devise a float actuated shutter release for my camera, get back in the trough, with my new startlingly long and bushy beard hanging over the edge, and really make some waves! P.S. The cheapcam $25 digicam came. -- Alan (the medication doesn't really seem to help, Doc...) Hayes!!!
